"Mr President, I came into politics in the hope of persuading people by argument and occasionally winning votes. One way to win a vote is to turn up when your opponents do not. If they are prevented by some unavoidable catastrophe that is a breach of democracy, but if they do not bother coming, they do not deserve the vote. It is not the House that disenfranchises these voters, it is the Members who are not here."@en1
