The Conservative and Liberal Democrat candidates both replied to my email yesterday, both of them in the middle of the night which shows dedication at least. None of the others have mastered enough of the internet to get a reply out, so pffft to them.

Tory boy Andy Stranack said that he basically hates the EU and is against ‘Any further integration’ with it, but that he’s happy I’m still interested in UK politics.

Libdem boy Columba Blango (Top Name! Columba Blango for Prime Minister!) said that he hadn’t replied earlier because he’d been researching the problem, and that it will take changes in EU and UK legislation to overcome the problem and that’s what he’ll campaign for when elected.

So kudos to Andy (and hey, Andy, Columba, I HATE people referring to me by my first name when we’ve never even been introduced so spruce up your manners please) for ‘fessing up to his misguided opinions, and congratulations to Mr Blango for having the correct opinion.

Oh yes, you have a right to your opinions. And Oh no, they are not always ‘right’.

For example, my current parliamentary representative Tessa Jowell appears to have remarkably few correct opinions. Against a transparent parliament, for ID cards, for the Iraq war, against investigating the Iraq war, for replacing Trident…the list goes on. We’re both right about the hunting and smoking bans, gay rights, removing hereditary peers and electing the House of Lords but, er, that’s about it. Bye, Tessa, enjoy the consultancy work.
