Ya but once JKH beat him in 1983 that broke the mould, I would think if more constituencies in the country had an home grown MP it would be very difficult for an outsider to come in a retake the seat, especially in seats like Hyndburn, I may not agree with Graham Jones or what he stands for nor did I do Greg Pope, but I think I'd rather have people, irrespective of party, fighting my corner in Westminster who actually know and live in the area they represent, rather than somebody thrust on the people by the political grandees of any party
