I'm just going to quote from his assessment, where he says, "The impairment of the rights is significant but there appears to be no alternative way to restore the proportionality of political party representation in Parliament other than by removing the member who has distorted it. If they remain in the House they will continue to cause the distortion. I am therefore satisfied that the impairment is minimal." He goes on to say, "As important as freedoms of expression and association are, preserving the balance of representation in accordance with the wishes of the electorate is a sufficiently strong democratic purpose to justify the limitation", and he also notes that there are other remedies in place—as I mentioned earlier, the opportunity to bring a judicial review.
