and that is the nub of the problem. We need Independent MP's. People who really live in thea reas they represent, not just have postal addresses (I am not having a go at any MP here and I know it does not apply to the Accrington)
We need MP's who have a real stake in the future of the area that they represent and who are not controlled by any party who virtually becomes their employer.
The Nort in particular desperately needs local representation and its own centre of local goverment, it has certainly worked for Wales and Scotland. A local power centre (assembly) means that local people can be involved as they dont have to spend all week away from their families and they are constantly in touch with their community.
