	Headingley - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia
		Headingley is a suburb of the English city of Leeds in the county of Yorkshire.
		It continued to be a village until the expansion of Leeds during the industrial revolution and became a popular suburb where the rich moved to escape the filth of the main city.
		The current Member of Parliament (MP) is Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat), who became the first Liberal Democrat MP in West Yorkshire in the 2005 General Election, largely as a result of the influential student vote in the constituency.

	Leeds (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leeds was a former constituency used to elect Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1832 until the Parliamentary borough was split into divisions in 1885.
		Immediately after the Parliament elected in 1818 had assembled in 1819, a petition was presented to the House of Commons, complaining in the usual terms, that gross bribery and corruption had been practised in the return of the two Members for the Borough of Grampound, in Cornwall.
		This was a particularly important issue for the West Riding because the major towns of Bradford, Leeds and Sheffield and the important ones of Halifax, Huddersfield and Wakefield were all to become new Parliamentary boroughs in 1832.

	Ann McKechin MP for Glasgow Maryhill
		The Government's announcement of their intention to end the practice of tied aid is to be commended as a strong signal of our commitment to offer genuine assistance in a spirit of partnership with the developing world, rather than imposing a top-down solution, often with inappropriate and wasteful aid.
		A cynic once observed to me that the levels in the UK aid budget before 1997 bore an uncanny resemblance to the amount spent on the purchase of Hawk jump jets by the recipient countries.
		I acknowledge that the UK has played a leading role in ensuring that developing countries can participate in the World Trade Organisation as equal members.

		Though there are no obvious signs of vote fraud in some constituencies in Britain such as Leeds North West, which was not considered particularly marginal, in other very marginal areas, the final vote count is highly suspicious.
		In the constituencies which were most marginal, the swing against Labour was smaller than might be expected.
		Parmjit Singh Gill, the Liberal Democrat MP for Leicester South in the last parliament, believes constituents were put under pressure to register for a postal vote, and then instructed who to vote for.
