Men dette øjebliks historiske karakter stopper ikke dér, for Gruppen for Det Europæiske Folkeparti vil støtte et ændringsforslag, der er stillet af hr. Bonde - hvilket er et særsyn her i Parlamentet - for den synes, at det er et godt ændringsforslag, et ændringsforslag, hvor hr. Bonde siger og fastholder, at de medlemmer, der bliver valgt inden for en stats territoriale valgområde, repræsenterer hele vælgerkorpset, hvilket, og hermed slutter jeg ringen, hr. Edmund Burk i øvrigt også var fortaler for i sine kommentarer til vælgerne i Bristol i 1974.
The historic nature of this moment, however, does not end there, because the Group of the European Peoples' Party is going to support an amendment presented by Mr Bonde - a very unusual thing in this Parliament - because we think it is a good amendment, an amendment in which Mr Bonde says and maintains that those Members of Parliament elected in the territory of a State represent the whole of the electorate, something which, by the way - and this brings me back to what I said at the beginning - was also advocated by Edmund Burk in his comments to the voters of Bristol in 1794.
