That's an interesting point, Gayle, but would you do the same if the boot was on the other foot? The last time I lived in Accy, Ken Hargreaves was our MP. I thought he was excellent MP - a local lad who cared about his constituents, rather than making a name for himself in Parliament. He certainly went out of his way to help me when I had a problem that needed sorting out. Now, you may not agree with my assessment of him but just say you did for the sake of argument, would you have been prepared to "vote locally"?
