Will .
If you are interested in the pedigree of politicians , Labour M.P. Tony Benn's ( alias Anthony Wedgwood Benn) father was the Labour M.P. William Wedgwood Benn . Tony Benn's son is the Labour M.P. Hilary James Wedgwood Benn. Tony Benn's granddaughter is Emily Sophia Wedgwood Benn , not a Labour M.P. but an unsuccessful Labour Parliamentary candidate in 2010 . She was the youngest Parliamentary Candidate at the 2010 General Election .

i agree somewhat because what good is the current system if you look at a candidates prommises and listen to what he has to say only for him to do the exact opposite of what you voted him in for and have to wait 5 years for your chance to do something about it in which time the majority forget how he screwed them over
oops where i have put "him" i should have put "him/her" as there are of course female crooked people also.I cant imagine why "him" stuck in my mind when thinking of people who lie to the voter.
there needs to be a system in place where MPs can be ejected from their position with imidiate effect and forced to pay back wages earned as a MP and expenses so that they cant simply crawl up their leaders arse and vote how their leader says to vote and not the peoples wishes
these people are only accountable to fellow crooked people its about time they were accountable to the people they shoudl be accountable to and that is the people

I also said that we would vote to stay in. Latest opinion polls are confirming that with the dont knows moving to 'in'. Sky's recent poll was to stay in.

Oh dear, not a good thing taking notice of populus surveys, or any other fer that matter Graham, yeh would be well advised taking more notice of ordinary people, The E.U. n Immigration are the main issues, to most ordinary folk i have spoken too in the last couple of years, Yer 95% is utter rubbish, as is yer Leader, who i see as arrogant n self serving, If yesterdays vote dont make the big 3 wake up n smell the coffee, sod all will!!!

Re: The Labour Gravy Train
Don't forget the 1989 elections for the European Parliament .
Yesterday in the local elections UKIP got 17% of the national vote .
In 1989 in the Euro elections the Green Party got 15% of the national vote , and where are they now ?
We have seen all this before in various forms .

Well aware of that, also aware local votes dont normally transfer into General votes, But UKIP are a different animal in my view, They are saying what many want to hear,but the big 3 aint got the balls to say, watch this space is my opinion. If the 3 dont get their acts together in next 12 months.

yep The green party wanted cars banning and for us all to wear hemp clothing and i think they blamed cows farts for tHE declining ozone layer and suggested we should be vegitarians or somat.
to be honest they lost me at getting rid of cars and taxing the hell out of fuel even more to stop us using cars

They are busy arguing with each other in the only Green controlled local council Brighton & Hove. Have a google and a read about the mess they have made of that. Some of the Green councillors were even protesting about what the Green council were doing.
