Teddy, Eggwina, Maggie, and Winnie, all seemed quite popular in their various constitencies.

All of who had no connection with any of those places.

Perhaps we should bring rules in, stating a M.P. has to be born in their costituency.

So we won't see the likes of Heath, Curry, Thatcher, and Churchill again.
