I will ask the Member one question. He speaks with incredible passion and, for some people, perhaps even with some authority and knowledge. Indeed, his words might be persuasive, but has he not the slightest comprehension that he totally and utterly lost the plot the moment that he, along with Ms Armstrong, Mr Chambers and Mr Butler, signed the petitions of concern? Does he not accept and appreciate that? If he genuinely believes in the arguments that he is forcefully and graphically putting in the House tonight, and if he stands by and genuinely understands those arguments and believes that the House should be persuaded by the words that he has used, why on earth did he sign the petitions of concern?
