| Message | Mr Speaker, I cannot understand the motives of the URR at the present moment. Whatever happened to their more libertarian streak? Whilst we know they never defined themselves as libertarian, they certainly had some respect for the freedom of the individual. Where, Mr Speaker, has that gone? |
