| | Tom Watson - Labour MP: Revolting Tories |
 | | I think most people would rather that their MP did occasionally vote against their party, rather just being voting lobby fodder (without naming Mrs Waltho by name). |
 | | Well Prague, Lynda Waltho won more votes than the Conservative Candidate Diana Coad at the 2005 general election, which means, under our electoral system, as you well know, Lynda Waltho was "elected" as MP for Stourbridge for this current Parliament. |
 | | You sound to me a like a man wanting to start a PR debate perhaps, which, if you are, fine, but that's not the system we use in this country, so you will have to live with the 2005 result. |
