Went to school in Hampshire [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvette_CooperWIKI.[/url Not the most reliable source, obviously. Not that it really matters where she's from.

Interesting bit of info (to me and probably binks only). My lad designed her christmas cards when he was 4.

never been near the place till she got a house in the potteries so she could stand has our MP

Bit like the Cockney toss pot in Hull West, Alan 'so smug' Johnson

She doesnt live in the potteries she lives up queens park hill.

She does now but when she first came as MP she got the place in the potteries as her constituency house.

Ah right, only know she lives near me because my dog once invaded a garden party for local bigwigs at her house!

I dont think its right that someone who is not from our area should be entitled to represent us,

Even thought the people of the area voted for her? Sod democracy hey … what do the voters know?

I agree, to a certain extent - I think there should be a rule whereby a candidate should have lived in the area for at least 5 years, otherwise you get party bigwigs and mates of the leaders parachuted in.



Eeeh, bit of politics on an RL forum! We are intelligent!

If labour put osama bin laden up as a candidate people would vote for him , the people of cas always vote labour, the actual MP is largely irrelevent, for what its worth i think cooper does a good job by and large.
