[Margaret Pilkington]

Accyman, you took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to post something along the same lines in response to Kens post, but now there is no need.
Even Ex MP's don't seem so impoverished and they have the advantage of having(during their political career) of meeting lots of people who they can tap up for a return of favours(and, please don't tell me that it doesn't happen - the tapping up, and the giving of favours - because I don't buy it).

I'm not getting at you Ken...and I have to say that your position is far different from that of our elected representative.
I wish I could say that he would get my vote too, but I am still hacked off by the EU thing(please don't go there).

I know that a general election is a good while off, but I cannot think of any current political party that deserves my vote.
