Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
Graham Jones publicly said on here, in reference to a referendum on our European Union membership, that it would, quote, 'settle the matter democratically'.
Yet two short weeks later he voted for his puppet masters, rather than his constituents, and denied the people of Hyndburn the democratic right to have their views counted. The overwhelming majority of people thought he was wrong to do so. He's now also known to be someone capable of the grossest hypocrisy. Only a fool, or someone similarly as keen to arse lick their way to the top of the putrid political pole, can see this very clearly. :rolleyes: |

The vast majority of people thought he was wrong to do so. As galling, was the sheer hypocrisy. After saying what he did on here, about a referendum settling the matter 'democratically'. He's nearly up there with you. When it comes to saying the wrong thing, and digging himself into a deeper hole. At least Britcliffe knew his limitations. Hence only two posts of his are on here. From hero to zero. Some can achieve that in only a few, foolish words. Still, I suppose that's evidence of at least some talent. |

Is this based on the 46 votes cast in your poll? Out of over 80,000 residents in Hyndburn? Possibly not quantifiable as a representative cross-section of the borough's views, I fear. |
Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?
I think, for me, what caused me the greatest concern was that Graham Jones felt that 95% of the electorate couldn't give a toss about the EU....now what I would like to know is, where did he get that figure from? Had he done a straw poll...or did he just pluck the figure from thin air.
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. |

Unlike the '95% of people who don't give a toss about Europe', according to Graham Jones, and to which Margaret P. refers to. Do you happen to know the actual source, where that figure came from? Or was it plucked from the air, in utter desperation? :rolleyes: |

As for leaving decisions to those who "know enough" about issues, why bother having a democracy at all? If the politicians know so much more than us, we may as well not bother with elections and just let them get on with it! |
