She does now but when she first came as MP she got the place in the potteries as her constituency house.

Ah right, only know she lives near me because my dog once invaded a garden party for local bigwigs at her house!

I dont think its right that someone who is not from our area should be entitled to represent us,

Even thought the people of the area voted for her? Sod democracy hey … what do the voters know?

I agree, to a certain extent - I think there should be a rule whereby a candidate should have lived in the area for at least 5 years, otherwise you get party bigwigs and mates of the leaders parachuted in.

Eeeh, bit of politics on an RL forum! We are intelligent!

ok too much sun this weekend i was thinking of Winny Mac . Just had it very officially she came to cas with a safe seat. That being said i do think she has done some good stuff for Cas as a town , she isnt scared who she upsets to get her way and that should be good for the stadium>

So yes sorry for being wrong it was mon morning i was still tired.

Politics has been this way for years and years. It's not a New Labour thing at all - every party does it - and Cas certainly isn't the only town with representation from 'outside'.

What's important here is that not one but two very senior politicians are interested in the town and the Rugby club. That's influence which in the right hands could be very wisely used, so (wherever she or Ed actually originate) perhaps a bit less of the slating and a bit more of that famous Yorkshire welcome would be in order?

not harsh at all, anyone and i mean anyone who seeks to be a career polititions should be refused point blank, the position should be held by someone who does have the constituants at heart. not someone playing games and networking (new name for brown nosing) for their next promotion, the whole government system at the moment is a closed shop. i had the privelidge of meeting lord Lofthouse prior to him being side moved to the house of lords for the new dynamic face of new labour, and Yvette is a poor replacement. a stooge put in place for the easy ride to westminster just like her hubby.

so we think we will get our stadium because THE COOPERS LOVE CRLFC

Too true Disco, and I actually believe she does care about the area as she gets involved in everything she can and doesn't just show her face now and again.

By the way, it's a good job she didn't change her name to her husband's when she got married as we' d have two local politicians that are a right pair of Balls (I thank you!)
