"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."
Tony Benn, speaking in the House of Commons on 20th November 1991 (7.56 pm onward)
