I thought he would probably get back in and I have to say that he is not bad as MP's go, I had a lovely personal reply off him when I emailed him about Low's petiton earlier on in the year and even after that he sent me another letter with a copy of a letter he had sent to West Midlands Travel on my behalf.

I think that is a good enough reason to vote for someone PB.....

I disagree Baz, compared to other EU countries. Plus we inherited the worst debts from the tories in 97 when Labour took office.
