Exit Polls

Well, Neil he has not done a lot for the borough in general, and as such, I cannot agree that he is a good MP.
Previously he has done more to promote his own interests by climbing the political ladder.
It is not necessarily about sounding good in the press, but about doing the best for the town.
I stand by my post that he was a good councillor(that is why I had high hopes for him as our MP...and voted for him at the last election.)
As far as I am concerned he has not fulfilled those hopes.
This is just my own opinion.

I follow him on facebook and see what he is doing for his constituents, you should try it you might learn what he's up to
 
Neil, you know I don't do facebook. I won't ever do facebook/twitter/whatsapp/snapchat.
None of these have anything that want to avail myself of.

He may be doing stuff for constituents...that is what he knows how to do from being a councillor...but looking at the bigger picture....exactly what has he done to improve the borough...has he prevented the closure of amenities?
Has he done anything to slow down the decline of the town centre?
Has he done anything to promote the town to businesses which would bring in jobs and improve the local economy?

Having said all of that even if he had done wonders for the town(which he hasn't) I would not vote for a party which had Jeremy Corbyn as a leader....with a manifesto which is so blatantly unworkable

I try never to miss Prime minister's questions, and selected debates. During the past two years, I have made a point of seeing if my MP asks a question, he hardly ever does. I also took an interest in Hyndburn, and this MP hardly ever does either
My husband follows Martyn Day our MP on facebook, according to him he gives the impression of always being busy and out there. so we joined a government website called THEY WORK FOR YOU, every time your selected MP asks a question or has a written one, the will send you an email giving you all the information. it can make interesting reading Neil

WhatsApp isn't social media. It's just a private message system that uses the internet so you can send picture/video/whatever you want to a friend. You can send messages to just one person like with text messages or you can set up group messages with several people in. Good if you have a few people like a walking group or something and want to be able to contact them all at once.

I know that you can do all that, I watch the children doing that.(I lumped it in with social media for convenience) I was just saying that these apps/sites do not appeal to me.
I am the wrong generation for all of that.
They are the way that younger folk keep in touch.

They are for keeping people in touch, age has nothing to do with it
