lpv:spoken text	"At the last Brussels plenary, I was prevented by the President of the European Parliament from voting on individual clauses in a report ‘in the interests of efficiency’. I voted against this report because it also proposes to sacrifice democracy in the name of efficiency. We must be able to table split votes and roll-call votes on all items in all reports. Our constituents have the right to know how their elected representatives are voting and Members deserve the right to express their approval or disapproval of individual clauses in a report. The fact that this report was passed with a large majority is another testament to the ‘stitch-up’ between the largest groups in the European Parliament. Sunshine is the best disinfectant; the larger political groups should not fear transparency. They should end the stranglehold they have on this Parliament and open it up to true democratic principles."@en1
