I wonder whether the hon. Gentleman is right about that. Leaving aside this debate, if someone asked me whether there had been a state of sustained amity or enmity between the Conservative and Labour parties over the past half-century, what would the answer be? It would have to be that there had been a sustained state of enmity, because we are in competition with each other. Although there may be areas on which there is a meeting of views, we have different philosophical outlooks and viewpoints and intense disagreements over policy.
