 Wantage (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wantage is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The constituency covers the south-west of Oxfordshire, largely corresponding to the Vale of White Horse local government district, with the exception of twelve wards in the north east (comprising the town of Abingdon and the Oxford suburbs of North Hinksey (Botley) and Cumnor), which lie in the Oxford West and Abingdon constituency.
With an electorate of barely 8000, Wantage is one of the smallest towns to hold sole ownership of a parliamentary constituency name and in fact the largest town in the constituency is Didcot, which lies in the neighbouring South Oxfordshire local authority district, as does Wallingford, another significant centre of population for the division.

Lets be honest - Oxford Uni has got of bloodly lightly with the campaign against it, yet it claims to be supportive of freedom of speech in the same sentences as persuing draconian injunctions that would have pretty much banned all animal rights protest, peaceful or otherwise, in the city.
Dr Evan Harris is very closely tied to Oxford University and is allowing himself to be used as a mouth piece for their conservative bigotry.

Oxford Greens have never translated their significant local election support into GE support.
i wouldn't argue that Evan is the worst MP in Parliament, because he clearly isn't - in fact he's one of the better ones.
He is, however, nowhere near as close to the ideology of the 'dismayed Labour supporter' as Tom Lines is - and since Evan is going to win by a landslide anyway, people in OXWAB should feel free to vote for their principles...which would suggest a vote for the Greens.
