One issue I feel strongly about is the EU. So today's debate in the commons on having a referendum on the EU is of great interest to me.
Whether you are for or against the EU is beside the point. 99.5% of you can lobby your MP and make your views known, and you never know it might even make the tiniest bit of a difference to the outcome.
On the other hand the good burghers of Buckingham are disenfranchised. We can lobby our MP as much as we like and, unless there is a tied result, the person elected to represent our interests doesn't even get to vote.
I wonder whose fault that was .
ReplyDeleteNot mine.I actively campaigned for UKIP to get him out. We slashed his majority and reduced his vote to less than 50% at the election.
