Tunbridge Wells is traditionally associated with the prim middle classes, especially in the locution "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells".

 INTRODUCTION
Since that time, Parliament has consisted of a House of Lords and a House of Commons, and it is with the latter that we are mainly concerned, When first established, the House of Commons represented communities rather than the individual electors of a geographical area.
From the time of the earliest parliaments of the reign of Edward I, to which the boroughs sent their representatives, it was never certain whether a town would be invited to send members or, if invited, whether it would be willing to incur the expense of the representatives' journey to Westminster.
Thus, there is now a system by which all adults have the right to vote for their representatives in parliament and the votes are, as far as is possible in one-member-constituencies with a simple majoritv, equal in value.

 Roger Williams
Transport links in Brecon and Radnorshire are fairly limited because of the sheer size of the constituency and its low density of population: only 1.4% of the population travel to work by public transport compared to an average in Wales of 6.5% and 14.6% in the UK.
The south-western part of the constituency is also home to former mining communities, in particular Ystradgynlais, which was hit hard by the collapse of heavy industry but which has done much in recent years to fight back.
Although Brecon and Radnorshire falls behind the UK average in terms of gross weekly income (£334.70), it is just ahead of the Welsh average at £300.40 vs. £300.30 respectively at 2001 figures.

This process worked well and provided the kind of effective treatments and services needed by patients and the community, whose needs were expressed by and through various Community Health Councils, Joint Staff Consultative Committees and community organisations.
In 1979 the UKs oil wells started to produce and the UK became a net exporter of oil, as far as I know the only one of the industrialised countries to be producing more oil than it consumed, extremely well off as a result.
So one's chance of being elected depends on doing as told by leader or leadership, on supporting their policies, instead of depending on serving one's constituents (local electors), instead of being responsible and accountable to the electors, to the community one is supposed to represent and act for.

In some places these Councils, as well as starting debate about development, are even standing up to local warlords, and in the history of Afghanistan that is remarkable.
The institutions we have in the UK took hundreds of years to evolve through a process of bargaining between the state and groups in society.
