Correct.

Don't worry, she doesn't represent us.

There you go again, assuming (or should i say, simply making it up) i voted for her, believe in her and suggest because i did this (where did i say i had?) that i am a supporter of the war in Iraq. My god you're unbelievable. As i say, why not make a point of discussing things I (or anyone else) has said rather than what you want to blabber on about. You're a joke mate. You can't debate you just blabber on about things no one has said and call them names for doing so. Then you expect someone to come on and have a debate back. Why would anyone want to when it's clear you don't even read what people write?

TB The people will vote for her beause she is the labour party candidate, but she was an imposed candidate by the party, due to the fact they said there had to be a certain number of women in parliament. Im not against women in parliament and im sure as hell nothing but labour, my point was that i feel that a person from the constituency should be from that area, nothing to do with democracy.

Me neither. The place needs cleaning now and again.

You are comical Ali and i claim my £5

A bleeding heart liberal who is pro-war. That's a new one.

The local Labour Party at the time, as was their right, elected a candidate to succeed Geoffery Lofthouse, who had decided to retire & accept a peerage to enter the house of Lords.

This candiate was a local long standing Labour councillor who had represented his ward for many years on WMDC & I'm led to believe had the backing of Lord Lofthouse.

Unfortunately the local party decision was overuled by the Labour Party head office & Yvette Cooper was imposed on us because they wanted to ensure she would be elected & we are are a VERY safe Labour seat.

I as an ex-unioin official & member of the Labour Party consequently left the party & have never voted Labour since. I may be wasting my vote in this constituency in not voting Labour but at least I can cast my vote with a clear concience

I've never actually voted Labour in this constituency in a general election because I lived in Selby at the last election in 2005. I've always been a red but I don't believe the current Labour government truly represent me and they've gone too far away from the policies which match their core voters. Whilst there are still a number of Labour MPs who uphold the old values, I don't believe ours does - she very rarely votes against the government which is often not in the interests of the people of this area.

The Iraq war's been mentioned too. Cooper supported it - one thing I do actually agree with her on. Why do I agree? Because I believe the government are elected to run the country and part of that involves protecting the country. It's inappropriate for the electorate to simply dismiss the war as being illegal when we're not privvy to all the facts and intelligence on which the government have acted. Granted, they could've handled it much better than they did at the time, but I still think they should be given the benefit of the doubt until a public enquiry suggests otherwise.

These people are elected to represent their constituancies ... to be beyond reproach and act as our voice.

Cooper and the rest of the trough eating cronies ... have no interest in the lives of the people they are supposed to represent and the truth of the matter is that she along with the majority of elected polititians has been shown to have commited fraud against the very people they are supposed to represent.

The worst thing is that she and the majority of the rest have got away with it by apologising!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christ I wish I could run my business by using the 'it was a simple accounting error' line ............. but I doubt the Tax office would believe me as easily as the people stealing the money I pay in taxes to line their own pockets... these people are the worst kind of scum, stealing from the poor , sick and disadvantaged to line their own pockets....then having the gaul to look you in the eye and say they are here for you....
