So is he there to do what the poeple want as he says on his website.. or what he wants as garinda says?

When I read that I think he is saying that he represents people equally regardless of race, whether they voted for him, etc.
I don't read it as saying 'I shall represent what the majority of the constituency want regardless of what I think the consequences of that might be'
If we wanted our MP to vote on everything according to what the majority of the constituancy wanted, and use no judgment, then we might as well have no MP and just have a referendum on everything, which would lead to a crappy country, rule by mob.
