Re: What do our MP's do for us?

Admittedly we do have a strange political voting system in this country.

In a General Election how do you decide who to vote for?

Personality or party, or like most of us a mixture of the two, and vote for who you think is the more able candidate, and a party whose manifesto you most agree with.

Personally I think there's a strong argument for proportional representation.

Scrap having local MPs, we already have enough local politicans at borough and county level, and purely vote for the party you'd like to see form the next government.

Highly unlikely to happen of course, even though it works perfectly well in many other parts of the world, because our two main political parties fear their power would become diluted.
