Louise goes

She was elected to represent her constituency and those who voted for her did so under the belief that she would represent them for the whole term. Had she said she wouldn't run again for whatever reason at the next election then that's fair enough, but if she wasn't in a position to represent her constituency for the whole term, then she shouldn't have stood in the first place.

Dont get me started on Politics. Im taking the ConDems on over this highly unfair Bedroom Tax. its a tax which is going to force me to take a one bed property (which are scarce) and having to stop taking my kids to stay. Thats the BEST case scenario.

So you think she should leave her family just to stay on as an MP? The woman has a life outside politics and her husband lives and works in New York so she has decided thats where she wants to be. Good on her.

I never said that, I like her, so I will be sorry to see her go,

Good novelist too

Couldn't agree more. I understand her wanting to spend more time with her family but she has made a commitment to her constituents, The answer should be for her husband to support her in the commitment she has made and which, I assume, he supported her in when she made it. Could he not be UK based and still manage Metallica? Or does this have more to do with rates of taxation than with family togetherness? :ponder:

She made a commitment in 2010. She married in 2011. When standing for election did she know her personal life would change?

She didn't have to get married - she could have gotten engaged and waited till her term was over.

Robert Peel, Pitt the Younger, William Gladstone, Benjamin Disraeli, David Lloyd George, Stanley Baldwin, Winston Churchill, Harold McMillan, Harold Wilson...err....Louise Moensch...I think not.

One more self-obsessed idiot gone. How about politicians with a bit of life experience? A bit of intellectual weight behind them? Not these professional poodles that have never known the stress of sacking or being sacked when it actually meant something.

You have to take the cards dealt you in life. Whether you are born in the Higlands , New York , Stratford ( East London) , Brighton , Pakistan, Alabama or wherever. You can't call somebody an idiot for not being famous or having a silver spoon in there Cow and gate at birth.

If you do you have a mamouth chip.

Mammoth.

What are you talking about? I never mentioned where she was born? And she is famous, so that hardly counts either. But she's an intellectual lightweight. If that's the 'hand she's been dealt with' then stick to chick-lit and chat shows. She's personable enough but I want our country's leaders to be giants.

She fits in very well with the Camerons, Johnsons, Blairs, Cleggs and Millibands of this world. Where's the drive behind her? Where's the original thought? Where's the economic depth?

We've settled for mediocrity and photo-passable politicians for far too long. I find it madness we have Osborne as the Chancellor in a government with Ken Clarke and Vince Cable in it. Get rid of these poor excuses for pop stars and let's have some serious heavyweight minds.

You called her an idiot

I was trying in a nice way to explain she is the person she is because of the cards she has drawn in life

Just like you are the way you are

People are like computers "Garbage in Garbage out",

Be a bit more tolerant

Or end up like Victor Meldrew

Imagine criticising a politician for not being driven, inspired and highly intelligent? I was against maths teachers who weren't very good at arithmetic too but I see now it's not their fault. Anyone should be able to do any job they want, no matter how unsuitable.

"This post is hidden because you have chosen to ignore posts by Laurence. "

and can you believe for this thread, I did? What a waste of time.
