Your points...Thank you for your kind words Bernard. Your points are very valid and I may be changing my mind after yesterday's rush of blood to the head - especially considering that the voters seem to be taking refuge in UKIP (BBC:"One of UKIP's former MEPs, Ashley Mote, was jailed over benefit fraud and another, Tom Wise, has denied charges of false accounting and money laundering.") It does seems that the full facts need to sink in. A couple of points though: candidates can be de-selected in a few days. It's amazing how the urgency of an impending election can concentrate minds. Also, "appropriate disciplinary action" sounds far too hollow for some voters I have spoken to. They are expecting some MPs to be "clapped in irons".Paul Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525444717679391831noreply@blogger.com
