AIBU?

To ask how I find local candidates' voting records?

I want to see how my local election candidates voted on past issues, particularly Brexit, but only seem to be able to find this info for my current MP. Anyone know where I can find it please?

Am I being unreasonable?

You have one vote. All votes are anonymous.

The other candidates won't have voted unless they have been MPs in the past which is why you can't find it

They may have announced how they voted in the referendum but there won't be a record of it

Do you mean how they voted in parliament? Surely there can only be the information for your elected MP.

Don't worry about it, it's an anonymous forum!

Don’t worry, my 35 year old sister, who has voted multiple times, rang me up to say her postal vote was wrong, because she couldn’t see Jeremy Corbyn, Boris Johnson et al on there, and wanted to know what mine said!

YahBasic, your sister has been watching too much American TV.
