lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of this report, and in particular Amendments 51 and 52, which replace the oldest Member taking the chair at the opening of the new Parliament by a ‘provisional choice’. I do not understand why we have ever had this bizarre rule. Maybe the ‘father or mother’ of the House has a logic. The longest serving Member at least has experience to fall back on, rather than merely age. We have already had this system abused by Mr Le Pen and his Front National when in 1989 Claude Autant-Lara was parachuted into this Parliament and made a farce of the opening of the institution with a lengthy and highly offensive intervention. Within months he had stood down, having performed his function of bringing ridicule upon the European Parliament. We cannot, 20 years on, allow Mr Le Pen a second opportunity to bring Europe into disrepute."@en1
