Sheffield MP Angela Smith loses vote of confidence

Recommended Posts

 

If she believes that voting to leave the EU would damage the majority of her constituents, why on earth would she vote for it?

 

That makes no sense! :suspect:

 

because it wasn't for her to decide,

shes there to carry out /represent the voters wishes

Which voters?

Her job is to represent her constituents in parliament. Any mp who doesn't isn't doing their job and will be held to account at the next election.

Will he do as much work as he did previously. He cant do any less.

 

But he would no longer be my MP and that would be well worth celebrating

She is representing her constituents by voting against the Brexit bill.

 

The government's own impact reports (yes, the ones the government tried to hide from Parliament) say that it is Northern constituencies like Stocksbridge and Penistone which will be hit first and hardest by Brexit.

but you could argue that its because of Labour MP's like her constantly attacking their leader that actually makes the Labour Party appear un electable, voters may question why they should vote for Labour if their own MP's are not happy with the party.

 

i think many voters may be questioning why they should vote labour given the partys current leader.

she's a representative not a delegate, she is there to make the best decisions for the country

 

anyway, she can't vote 67% in favour of a thing and 33% against it

That's nonsense.

She was elected by people who expected her to speak for them in Parliament, this she has declined to do. So why would you vote for her next time round.

 

She was on the telly this morning, broadcast from Fox Valley, promoting her desire for another "peoples vote" over Brexit. I suspect the hessian bag is waiting for her even more now at the next election.

To be strict, an estimated 41% of her constituency electorate voted leave, 26% voted remain and 33% abstained from voting, so by abstaining in a parliamentary vote Angela Smith would at least represent 1/3 of her constituents:)

Ok, lets see how her voters react to that info at the next election.

She could not even save the post office at Burncross for her voters so she will have no interest in backing her majority of voters with regards to Brexit.
