Many of the electorate abstain from voting cashman so you can hardly blame an MP for doing the same.

Polls of just a few thousand people can never be truly representative of the umpteen million who are eligible to vote. It is only an indication of how they MIGHT vote if asked and we weren’t.

MP’s are not voted into office to speak on our behalf lettie but to act in accordance with the manifesto that they presented to their constituents before being elected. As most if not all MP’s were voted into office by a minority they cannot represent all their constituents. If something comes up that was not included in the manifesto then the MP is free to vote as his conscience dictates – subject to the Whips of course. But that’s another argument.

Personally I disagree with the 90 days without charge detention. 28 days is enough time to get sufficient evidence to charge them. Well it would be if the police had the manpower. The real problem here is a police force that has been virtually stripped to the bone so that they cannot cope with normal crime let alone suspected terrorists.

I know mistakes can be made but I'd rather it be a mistake of holding and innocent person than of letting a guilty one go free and yet more people being killed.

That comment is directly opposed to the reason why we don’t have capital punishment WillowTheWisp. Rather one guilty person goes free than an innocent person is hanged.

We can’t have it both ways.
