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

But not every older constituent is against marriage equality, just as not every younger one is for it.

As for me, love is love, it doesn't matter.

His real electorate is the selection committee of the Conservative Association, if they don't want him as MP, then he won't be MP.

In times gone by a candidacy could be bought, not sure if this happens today......

It does make it quite fun to walk through the town centre on pension day, holding hands with the other half, to see how the old folk react! :P

Seen Mr. LeFroy wandering about town a couple of times. He didn't seem that troubled by anything, had a very small satchel with him and walked about like he owned the place.

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

On same-sex marriage there was a 'free' vote - party line was to say 'yay', but it was left to the 'conscience' of individual members to vote as they believed their constituency would be best represented.

It is, correct me if i'm wrong, actually the only time our Representative has actually 'rebelled' - not much of a rebellion admittedly, but at least he was, erm, misrepresenting the most of us who don't give a shit.

His response to the equal marriage bill was cowardly and out of step in my opinion with the majority of the people he represents. He should be ashamed of himself for voting against it. To me it is one right that effects no one negatively whatsoever, I just didn't and can't understand anyone being against it, completely alien to me. Thankfully we are where we are now.

Since moving to Cumbria I have a new MP. Actually well liked. Very active and a good constituency MP. Also leader of the Liberal democrats. Fell runner.

Every time I start to think our elected representatives actually represent us, I watch "The Thick of It" again and everything's right with the world again.

Has Mr FuckingUseless been up at the hospital for the last 2 weeks to report back on the crisis first hand or has he been watching back to back episodes of a Death in Paradise in Newcastle under Lyme

I can confirm the latter

Great vote Stafford
