Billy Bragg talked about voting LD at a gig I went to last year - a tactical vote in his constituency to try and keep the tory out.

Yes, I made the same mistake.
I don't think I'm even going to compromised as much as voting Labout next time round, lesson learned.

That aside, it was a bloody good gig. Seen him live twice - excellent both times.

I've not seen him play
but I saw an interesting discussion with Him, Mark Thomas and some one else I can't remember who was totally out classed, about Nationalism at Lattitute last Year. At the end he lead the crown in singing Jerusalem, it was ace.

I am a big fan of Mark Thomas. Have met him a couple of times as a mate of mine went to school with him

he seems good, but I could do with out the silly stunts he used to do on his TV show
see also Michael Moor.

Yes lightly, she was.

Oh yeah...
Come to think of it, I did post a link on fb during the election, showing people how they could vote tactically to "keep Dave out"
*backtracks*

At the last election was very difficult for me to work out who to vote for.
Was living in Battersea - highly marginal seat - labour by about 150 votes. The MP was a fucking good constituency MP - did a lot about public transport, homelessness etc - was interested in his constituents not ministerial office.

I wanted to vote for him, but I couldn't as it would have meant I was also voting to keep Gordon Brown in office.

This probably won't make me very popular...
But I am one of the few who would have kept Brown in office. Especially given the alternatives.
That aside, if your MP was "a fucking good constituency MP", that is a good reason for voting for him. Are you happy with who you have now?

I have moved since. Glenda Jackson is my MP and on the couple of occasions I have filled in templates to support an issue I have had a prompt response and follow up's as well.
