Quote madkeentrin="madkeentrin"I have voted Labour all my life and then voted Brexit.(never regretted it for a second).Consequently I have voted Tory in last 2 elections to get it implemented, as, i suspect, have a lot of people.Having said that there is zero chance that I would have voted for Corbyn this time.Had to laugh at Creagh on main news last night having a right go at Corbyn for the loss of her seat; no Mary,your failure to back Brexit cost you that,unless,of course, you forgot the 66% out vote.
Who knows if Brexit will be a success or if the Tories will continue to neglect us up here, only time will tell.'"
Sorry been out of the country since last Tuesday so only just looked at the forums tonight after getting over jet lag.
But Mary Creagh has continuously come under some pretty unfair criticism and disgusting comments made towards her over her Brexit stance, but ever since the day she was first elected, she has made it absolutely clear she was against Brexit, she has stood her ground and not wavered from her position despite all the flack. This is a very rare occurance in a politician to actually tell the truth and stick to your guns, she has been re-elected twice based on this stance (once since the referendum). Having met her a number of times on the many various projects she has supported and helped out in the districts in the last 10 years, I can honestly say she regularly and consistently has done the best for the people of wakefield and the only thing she appears to have done wrong is not support Brexit, I didn't vote this time but that's my fault, but I have always voted for the person I felt best represented what was needed in our fair city and I would have voted for her again, not because she's labour or that's I love corbyn (couldn't be further from the truth) but people mistakenly think our voting system is presidential and we're voting for our favourite leader not the person who best represents us. I doubt our Tory MP will get another term, this was clearly a protest vote, Andrew we'll have another one in 5 years.
Personally I think there should be better rules on when you have an election, this one has been ridiculous with its timing, a strangle hold over one policy Brexit, getting completed by January. But we won't get the Brexit that was blasted on the side of the big red bus, it'll look nothing like that
