Title: victory?
Post by: albitz on 28 June 2008, 21:03:03
it looks like the huge ved hike due to be levied on newer migs (among others)next year is about to be binned.the papers are all reporting it as definite,so i presume they have been tipped off.apparently labour mp,s who are scared of losing their seats on the gravy train have told darling they will soon be revolting.....many would say ,they already are. :y

Sorry to sound cynical but i believe MP's only do 'lip service'

they only do what they want to do

Ours got in by moving boundaries, the old MP took over the country part of his old and part of another and we got a Labour one in here - likely to lose to Cons I expect next election as MP toes party line too much and is not that much his own man.

What is funny two Cons MPs live in this Lab constituancy - old MP and a local who was MP somewhere sillly

Will wait to see what he actually does --- I have no faith in what is reported in the Mail .... and have even less faith in polititians ( of any party) actually doing what they say they will do in an effort to win votes
