It is going to be a disadvantage in the House because you can easily be disciplined and removed from the committees. But, if you belong to a “briefcase” party, you are very lucky. The moment you get into the committees, it is hard to get out. It sends a message to us who belong to the big parties that, in future, we will be very careful with the committees that we give to the other Members."}
