All War Represents A Failure

When Somebody Comes Up With A Progressive Idea, To Begin With, You're Mad, Bonkers. Then If You Go On, You're Dangerous. Then There's A Pause. Then You Can't Find Anyone Who Can Say They Thought Of It In The First Place. That's How Progress Is Made. This Is Why I Do Believe In The Vote. In The End, All These People Who've Been Tempted To The Right Realise The Warning Lights In Their Constituency Are Brighter Than The Bright Lights From No. 10 Offering Them Things.

If Democracy Is Destroyed In Britain, It Will Be Not The Communists, Trotskyists Or Subversives But This House Which Threw It Away. The Rights That Are Entrusted To Us Are Not For Us To Give Away. Even If I Agree With Everything That Is Proposed, I Cannot Hand Away Powers Lent To Me For Five Years By The People Of Chesterfield. I Just Could Not Do It. It Would Be Theft Of Public Rights.

I Think There Are Two Ways In Which People Are Controlled - First Of All Frighten People And Secondly Demoralize Them.

I Don't Believe In The Hereditary Principle In The House Of Lords. Imagine Going To The Dentist, Sitting In The Chair And He Says, 'i'm Not A Dentist Myself, But My Father Was A Dentist And His Father Before Him. Now, Open Wide!

I Think To Understand How The Democratic Process Works Is The Most Important Thing, So People Don't Get Frightened By It, And Get Put Off, And Give Up.
