Should be interesting this. Who will the Wakefield public vote for? Mary Creagh obviously a big opposer of Brexit despite the majority of her constituents voting for Brexit. The Tories are certifiably unelectable considering how they’ve managed to butcher Brexit. Will we see any of the candidates down at Belle Vue for there customary fake BS photo shoot?

My only wish is that all the northern MPs who have ignored their constituents in majority leave EU,areas, are decimated on Dec 12th. The likes of Creagh, Cooper, don’t deserve re electing. In this Area only Andrea Jenkins has supported her constituents and she’s a Conservative.

Parliament voted by q huge majority to give the electorate the chioice of leaving or remaining in the EU, the Rererendum result as we all know was to LEAVE.

It was Parliaments job to ensure that we left with the best deal possible but sadly those MP's who didn't agree with the result have done everything possible to undermine the democratic will of the people. Had they carried out their duties we would be out and out in an orderly fashion. Mary Creagh 68% of the Wakefield electorate voted leave she is supposed to represent the Wakefield electorate hopefully the 68% will reward her for her support in the appropriate manner and likewise for the rest who have gone against democracy.

Have never really understood the slavish adherence to voting on party lines, irrespective of policy people and performance.

The Labour Party founded to reflect the trade union movement and the working man has virtually no mps that reflect that beginning. An awful lot have more in common with the Bullingham set than they do with their traditional supporters. For most the route to politics has been university , followed by a stint working as an adviser or similar to an mp.

Yet they then cloak themselves as the working man to get into heartland constituencies. Think the one thing that the current parliament is most actually look down their noses at the working man or women and think they are intellectually superior.

Have voted labour and conservative at one time or another - perhaps reflecting my family heritage that had representation in both camps at the battle of orgreave abd can honestly say that this current crop of politicians are quite despicable self interested self serving scum

Could well be describing the delightful Mary Creagh, having met the woman I have not an ounce of respect for her, I met her pre - referendun she wasn't good then she's worse now

Completely agree. Let’s not forget now whilst more people are using food banks then ever before, MP’s are getting a pay rise for doing nothing than squabbling pretty much. Then there’s the Grenfell disaster. Both Labour and Conservatives using it for petty point scoring.

Edit - apologies. That bit in your quote should be underlined.

During the last election campaign Mary Creagh waltzes into my yard and with a look of glee on her face totally dismissed any chance her labour party had of winning the general election with Jeremy Corbyn as leader. But "Hey, I,m the best person to represent Wakefield, vote for me as your MP" blah, blah, blah.
Make of that what you will.

She geniunely believes that she is special

Irrespective of views on Brexit, anybody who votes for the Tories is voting for another five years of austerity, cuts to vital public services, the continued degradation of the NHS and the ‘bonfire of regulations’ (ie. working peoples’ hard earned rights and protection) not to mention real cuts to income caused by a hard, harmful Brexit. Anybody who says, ‘I’ve been a Labour voter all my life but this time I’m going with Boris’ needs to give his/her head a good shake.

I will vote Conservative and do not come on this site to be criticised and vilified for doing so. Let's get back to RL.

No vilification from me, being able to vote for who you want and being free to say you do so is the very basis of democracy. Personally, have not made up my mind yet, mainly because I find it impossible to work out what any of these fakers actually think.

Say what you like about the previous generation of politicians, at least with Thatcher and others you knew why you loved or loathed them and they rarely let you down in that respect. My generation gets bandwagon jumping, social media fawning and often hysterically preaching nobodies whose only desire seems to be to forge a future career in the media or if that fails to get a gig on strictly.
