Why should he post his MPs name? :shock:

Because he is constantly moaning about himand says he gets little or no response from letters to him.

My MP is Matthew Taylor if you must know. Now, what did that gain you? The reason I get cr*p responses is usually because issues I raise or opinions I voice are often at odds with what his shoddy party 'believe'.

Secondly, my logic is this: If MPs actually have a link to the area they represent, they may be more likely to a) care about what constituents say and b) be more sympathetic to local issues/concerns and ergo represent constituents interests better in Westminster.

So,finally,you have exposed your MP Mathew Taylor as an MP who dallies over answering question put to him by a constituent,well done.If he dallies and gives you more **** responses you need to mention the fact but when you do so make sure you name him each time.

With regard to your logic for wanting candidates standing in a constituency to have a link to the constituency they are going to stand in,what will happen to these constituencies when none of the locals are interested in standing?Will you have a backup plan to compulsorally force a local to stand,or,just forget about a constituancy that has no candidate from the local populace?

I sincerely doubt that would happen to be honest, given that in most parties a lot of councillors are looking to fill their Parliamentary candidates shoes.

Keyser Soze · 17-04-2007, 10:23 PM

So,like I said,what would be the plan if no local candidate came forward?

You had a nice idea but it could never work,even if all candidates were acceptable,some constituencies would end up without a suitable or local candidate wouldn't they?

There's nothing to stop that happening under the current system.
