While the vote on here may not be representative of how the borough as a whole would vote(it is, after all, only a straw poll) we aren't ever going to find out how many people care about whether we are in or out of the EU, unless someone gives us a say in the matter.
As far as I am concerned Graham showed an amazing lack of concern with the people who voted for him......and more than a little hypocrisy and a self serving attitude.
It really does make voting less and less attractive, when those who are elected do not live up to our first initial impressions and hope. Maybe that is our fault for believing that voting changes anything.

I've already said I think Jones arrived at that figure, after taking a poll in his office.
With only Merkel the office cat, being responsible for the unloyal, dissenting 5%.
