QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Apr 19 2017, 04:11 PM) So, 'six jobs' Osborne has gone. Good. Now is the time for ALL the West Berks remainders to influence Brexit, how? By electing a lib dem to parliament. Surely it's once bitten twice shy for West Berkshire? I think most realise that LibDems are yellow because they are too scared to show blue. LibDems and Tory, a choice between Stork and Butter, most people can't tell the difference.

If we treat the election as a single issue as TM suggests, I can see Benyon losing his seat.

I dislike Benyon but ill vote for him. No other choice. 20000+ Ps Tim Farron is an odious man. And he believes in the sky fairy. Anyone who isnt scientific or logical doesn't deserve to serve the people. In my humble view.

Anyway, I was just making the point that if it were a single issue election, Benyon would lose his seat. Besides, we don't vote for a president, we vote for a party.

Besides, we don't vote for a president, we vote for a party. In recent times, people voted for Ted Heath. A good few do vote for a person, I don't think fox hunting is right, but I'll still vote for Benyon. One of the reasons for that is my dislike of 'professional politicians' interested only in serving their party.

He is a clearly a 'Toryboi'. Look at his messages which demonstrate a party evangelist in operation. In particular the revised local settlements for council tax. It is easy to appear to be an ethical or nice politician when you don't need the money.

It is easy to appear to be an ethical or nice politician when you don't need the money. Are you sure the politics of envy haven't cut in Andy C? Benyon has actually gone against party particularly when supporting his country activities; like them or no. Nice Judith is even more a party clone, shoehorned in. Sure Benyon is well heeled, but one can't help wondering how she manages to support herself, it seems to make little difference. It will be interesting to see what other candidates appear. This should be a good opportunity for Labour to start demonstrating that locally we really do have a real choice other than two shades of blue.

This should be a good opportunity for Labour to start demonstrating that locally we really do have a real choice other than two shades of blue. He seems pretty natural to me but Richard Benyon has never rebelled against their party in the current parliament. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/11727/ric..._benyon/newburyRichard Benyon’s voting in Parliament Richard Benyon is a Conservative MP, and on the vast majority of issues votes the same way as other Conservative MPs.
