Perhaps he was too busy promoting democracy elsewhere... <br /><br />http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201415/cmhansrd/cm141027/debtext/141027-0004.htm<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-54963460987401666312014-10-24T12:45:08.331+01:002014-10-24T12:45:08.331+01:00Alas, Barry Gardiner is amongst the majority of La...Alas, Barry Gardiner is amongst the majority of Labour MPs who have failed to sign up for a proper Recall law, preferring to stick with the coalition government's attempt to keep power in the hands of MPs rather than entrusting democracy to voters - a list of all who've signed to date can be found here<br /><br />http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/2014-2015/0094/amend/recallofmpsaddednames.pdf <br /><br />Gardiner's fellow Labour MPs Kevan Jones and Frank Dobson played a pitiful class-warrior hand in the House of Commons debate earlier this week, justifying their opposition to the democratising amendments - which mean recall of MPs would be triggered if a sufficient number of constituents demanded it - on the grounds that the proposer is a millionaire, Tory Zac Goldsmith. These MPs clearly prefer to leave a recall decision to... fellow MPs! You couldn't make it up. <br /><br />Perhaps Barry Gardiner will take this opportunity to explain, via Wembley Matters, where he stands on the matter.
