"Mr President, I raise this point while keeping in mind the difficulty that the President was facing. I was very unhappy that an ordinary Member of this Parliament – a backbench Member – wishing to raise a point of order was refused the floor and yet when the leader of a group asked for the floor, he was immediately accorded that right. As I said, I raise this issue mindful of the difficult circumstances in which we were conducting our business at that point in time. But it is important that one of the few rights that backbench Members of Parliament have, namely to raise points of order and to take part in sessions such as with these explanations of vote, is not eroded. The President should respect all Members equally in these circumstances. There is no preference for group leaders when it comes to points of order. I would ask you, in a gentle way, to point this out to the President of Parliament."@en1
