I'm a traditionalist, and I totally disagree with everything about pressing a button to record my vote. I can recall a couple of weeks ago one of the most heartfelt votes I've ever experienced in the House of Commons, on Wynn's law. It wouldn't have been done by pressing a button and having that recorded. We started voting on Wynn's law in the back row, and you could see the momentum building in the House of Commons that night. That was one of the most fantastic nights I've experienced in 18 or 19 months as an MP, and I could see people on the TV, and I could see Mrs. Wynn up in the gallery. We don't ever want to lose that. That alone, with that motion that we had that night, was tremendous.
