Totally agree.
I think he is.
I thought he'd be a great representative in Westminster, for the people of Hyndburn.
That's probably the real reason I'm so very disappointed.
I'll never agree with his pro-continuing E.U. membership stance, but I'd respect his view.
What I'm unable to forgive is that he publicly stated he had no problem with a 'democratic' solution to this issue, via a referendum, and then two weeks voted against giving us that right.
Even though there was ample evidence, both locally, and nationally, that people are desperate to have their opinions counted in a referendum, regarding our future relationship with the European Union.
A s I've said, I think this is such a vitally important issue for our country, I will never again vote for anyone, or any political party who doesn't actively campaign that we are allowed a say in our future, in an in/out referendum.
No matter what happens over the changes re: the Boundary Commission, I can never again give my vote to Graham.
Personally, that saddens me.
But because of this vitally important issue, you're either with the people.
Or you're against them.
