Aparently it's a matter of principle for him so any private members bill has to be debated before it becomes law.

It will become law regardless
Chope just thinks every bill should be debated before made law. This kind of thinking should protect us from nonsense laws, you would think, so how come nonsense laws like the Psychoactive Substances Act still get passed. The act was designed to restrict sale and supply of "legal highs" but which, it was pointed out, could also include almost every substance that affects the brain. Alcohol, painkillers, coffee...
Reform the arcane laws and solve the problem. The UK could do with a decent reformist PM

That statement should be in quotes, it was not me wot said it
I just riffed on it
However I don't see the conflict between prolific PMB submission and the fact that he likes to debate every bill.

If it's done through the ballot, every bill he presents stops another MP presenting theirs.
Somehow I get the feeling that even he doesn't expect things like abolishing the TV license fee to get very far.
