To think not voting is not representing their constituents- how did your MP vote?

Abstained on all 8!

Abstained on all 8 too. Twat.

dirtystinkyrats · 27/03/2019 22:57

My MP abstained on all as she is in the Tory cabinet. She voted exactly as she was told on every election even before being in the cabinet though. Not entirely sure she is capable of an original thought.

Not voting is bad, but I think voting against what most of your constituents want is worse (not me, but family live in a Remain area, their MP voted for no deal and against everything else)

SmilingButClueless · 27/03/2019 23:01

I’m now wondering whether OP lives in the same constituency as my family member...

TwoBlueFish · 27/03/2019 23:02

I’m in a remain area (63%) my MP voted against everything. He’s a knob!

So frustrated about this, I also have an MP in the cabinet who isn't allowed out if he might think for himself. How is he supposed to be representing anyone?!

AChickenCalledKorma · 27/03/2019 23:05

Against everything. But we already know that he seems incapable of forming an opinion on anything that matters.

drspouse · 27/03/2019 23:06

My constituency is marginal leave and my MP has a very low majority but voted with what I know to be their consciousness. I'm not sure why they abstained on No Deal though as that's not controversial.

tickledmagenta · 27/03/2019 23:06

My MP didn't vote in a single one. Shock

SmilingButClueless · 27/03/2019 23:06

Not the same area then, this one is a Tory. Depressing there are a few of them.

My MP voted for the customs union and Common Market 2.0 and against everything else.

drspouse · 27/03/2019 23:06

*conscience

tickledmagenta · 27/03/2019 23:06

@dirtystinkyrats I think we've got the same MP. probably busy looking after the Lido Confused

CloserIAm2Fine · 27/03/2019 23:08

Mine voted for both no deal and revoke article 50, what an absolute knob! And just shows what a farce this whole shitshow is.

Bananasarenottheonlyfruit · 27/03/2019 23:11

Mine voted against all except Revoke and 2nd referendum. Maybe there is such a thing as a good Tory after all!

ThisThatAndTother · 27/03/2019 23:12

Mine voted for 1&8 and against the rest...I live in a big majority leave area (although I'm a remainer).

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 27/03/2019 23:12

Aye on 1 and 8

Nay on the others

I can't even remember what 1 and 8 were....my brain is fried

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 27/03/2019 23:12

Oooh jinx this

hipposarerad · 27/03/2019 23:14

Like an absolute cunt

Pillowaddict · 27/03/2019 23:14

Thankfully mine voted to revoke, for 2nd referendum and against no deal. For ehat it's worth. Absolutely disgusted with waste of space, ruinous bastards not worth a penny of their salaries voting against constituents' majority views. This whole thing is a fucking farce, and the majority of MPs not only unrepresentative of the wider population, but representative only of the horrible, bigoted and priveliged few.

CloserIAm2Fine · 27/03/2019 23:15

Oops, I was reading it wrong Blush he actually voted quite sensibly. As you were.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 27/03/2019 23:15
