I certainly wasn’t short of advice in the run-up to the vote. Some of my friends, family and colleagues are opposed to the war and either went on the Stop the War march or otherwise supported it. Labour Party members I’ve known for decades, people who during the 1980s helped drag Labour back from the edge of lunacy and into electability, urged me to oppose it. Some of my best friends in the Commons went in to the division lobbies to oppose the war. Many constituents rang or wrote or e-mailed me and urged me to oppose it too. They probably speak for a majority of voters in Hyndburn. So why did I vote the other way?

Thanks for finding that.
It's not quite what Kipax said though.
He implied that Greg Pope and said that he voted for the war, knowing that the majority of his constituents were opposed to it. Something I would have agreed with Kipax with, he didn't know, there wasn't a refereundum in the Borough.
Him saying 'probably' isn't knowing it as fact.
