When will politcians realise they work for us

-

HOW refreshing to read Nigel Smith’s letter last week regarding our local parliament­ary representa­tive.

It’s high time someone had the sense to speak out.

What on earth will it take to make local and national politician­s realise that they work for us. It’s not the other way around, that we, the voting public, provides them with a cushy, well paid and pensionabl­e job.

As Nigel rightly says, it’s all very well pandering to local groups and getting involved in local ‘causes’, but we have far more important issues to address and for sure, getting involved with a couple of has-been’s ( particular­ly of the opposing party ! ) campaignin­g against, exactly what the electorate voted for, is not the way to keep your seat Mrs M.

The nation voted to leave the European Union and it is a crying shame that all elected representa­tive will not accept that as a fact.

I am sure that if any politician was elected with a miniscule majority, it would be accepted and the ‘elected’ would laugh all the way to the bank. They certainly wouldn’t allow a second vote… would they ?

The rebellious members, both of the Commons and the House of Lords, who are currently defying our courageous leader and her supporters, should be hounded out of office and banned from holding any position in the future, as it is no less than treason that they are instigatin­g.

Out, means O.U.T. What is not clear about that?
