I also think some say what the voters want to hear just to get votes, like labour and the referendum but I would guess that did not stop you voting for them with your union head on.

Yeh guess wrong then.

Though going back to an E.U. referendum, and Graham Jones letting the constituents down by voting against it, grassroots support for the right to have a say in a referendum seems to cover the whole political spectrum.

Even if this isn't mirrored by the parties themselves, which cover that spectrum.

As a politician for most of your life you are an expert on the subject

I vote for the person I think will be best for the area.

I have never had any party allegiance and I have never wanted to get into politics but have often been accused of it.

Are you telling fibs?

I remember at the time you said you voted for the person with the best breasts.

You also said you couldn't vote Labour.

Even though you thought Gayle would have been a good councillor.

Though PB had just stopped smoking, and had put a bit of weight on, so did have a cracking rack on him at the time.

I never said you had been elected, I said you have been a politician most of your life.

ya but when your not elected you have no say and are not responsible for making decisions

I think that being 'involved' in politics is a bit different to being a politician.
