[Margaret Pilkington]

I think that (or more honestly, hope that) the electorate of Accrington and surroundidn districts have learnt a summary lesson, that what makes a good councillor does not necessarily make a good MP.
GJ was a little fish in a small pond up here......and by all accounts did a sterling job for his ward. The little fish when put into the aquarium that is the Palace of Westminster is a totally different scenario....the little fish got swallowed by the dogma of the party......he 'forgot' about the little people back home...those he was down there to represent.
Lesson learned???? You tell me.
