Proceeding contribution from Alberto Costa (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 September 2021. It occurred during Debate on bill on Elections Bill.
Elections Bill
The hon. Member is explaining some very noble values about the democratic process, all of which I agree with, but can he explain why in his current party, Alba, and in his previous role as a Scottish Government Minister in the SNP Government, he denied hundreds of thousands of Scottish women and men the right to have a vote in the Scottish independence referendum, which was about breaking up the very nation that they came from? Can he please explain why there was a democratic deficit there?
