Wondering who paid the Midlands and Lancashire CSU to produce this report?
It is littered with picture symbols on circles and; You said -We said, Where we are - Where we might be.
I may have missed the sentence where a named person says what they propose to do about it.......

He doesn't have to be up to the job - as long as 48.5% of the electorate vote for him.
And his 'job' may not be what we might wish it to be.

If ability was a job prerequisite, then we'd have no politicians left and most large companies would be without their CEO and directors.

It's largely a waste of everybody's time, to be fair.
There may not be a universal understanding of what his 'job' is - we get to vote on who the MP is, that's it.
What he does after he is elected, and who he really works for, is nothing whatsoever to do with us.

When I contacted him about marriage equality, he assured me that by voting against the planned changes, he was serving the interests of his mostly older constituents. Apparently forgetting that it's us young constituents that will be voting for him in 10-15 years when the old ones have died off.

Odd really. Everyone knows they will screw us over terribly, but most are scared in case anyone else screws us over other than them.
This ^. The only 'power' we have over 'them' is when we vote. The in between bit when they're in, the most important part, is where we have absolutely no control, and boy don't most know it.

ST16 Represent.
Same question and same response.

It's easier than admitting he only listens to the party whip, better to pretend he's protecting someone's interests just not yours.

He said that his older constituents had contacted him to say they didn't approve of it. I know that myself and at least a few other "young" (mid-20's) people had contacted him to express support for equalisation and, as PeterD has said, all got the same response.
As for why he only cares about his older constituents, it comes down to the fact that old people tend to vote more than young people and politics is a popularity game now instead of a 'trying to better the country'-game

What he actually means by old constituents is the old farts who inhabit the Conservative Association. Not usually famed for their tolerance of different persuasions...
