[kj] DON ¹ T FORGET TO VOTE

[Tim Bucknall]

 a good constistuency mp is the bedrock of democracy, if i had a good mp 
i'd vote for them regardless of their party
Democracy should be built from the Bottom up,

I just remembered how easy it is to wind people up by praising the 
tories ;-)

I must do it more often
