I Think Democracy Is The Most Revolutionary

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.

It's The Same Each Time With Progress. First They Ignore You, Then They Say You're Mad, Then Dangerous, Then There's A Pause And Then You Can't Find Anyone Who Disagrees With You.

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'm A Democrat - I Don't Support Bush, I Don't Support Blair, I Don't Support Bin Laden.

There Is Good And Bad In All Of Us And The Church Uses The Idea Of Original Sin To Control Us By Saying That, If We Do Not Obey The Bishops, We Will Rot In Hell.
