lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I rise if only to show that not all Brits agree with the somewhat eccentric views expressed by Mr Farage just now. Monsieur Farage claims that it is somehow wrong for the Presidency – any Presidency presumably – to try to find a solution to the Constitutional Treaty. In his argument he says that the people have said no. Yet he only wants to listen to the answer that suits him. He only wants to listen to those who have said no. He fails to recognise that 18 Member States have said yes, even where a referendum was held. If you add them all together, more people have said yes than have voted no, so it is right to persevere and find a compromise. That compromise must take account of the views of those who said no, but it must also take account of the large majority who have said yes."@en1
