That quote about what Parliament represents was taken from the election leaflet sent out by Graham Jones......and I agree that parliament in the current state reflects nothing about the electorate.......so it seemed to be ironic that our local sitting MP was trying to bamboozle us into thinking that WE were at the heart of his aims.....his only desire is to progress up the Labour Party ladder and do whatever his party bids him to do.
I thought he was better than that....but we all know that you live and learn.I won't be voting for him again this time around.
