I hadn’t noticed But Stewart Hosie (MP<\/acronym> for Dundee East) voted for the Digital Economy Bill<\/a> meaning that 100% of the SNP<\/acronym> MP<\/acronym>s who voted supported it. I have written to Jim Barrie (Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the SNP<\/acronym> in Dundee West) asking for his view on the bill (email sent on 15th April).<\/p>\n

Jim McGovern was too lazy to show up to the debate or vote either way. The vote had a 38.2% turnout. Look out for he and others lecturing in the media about vote apathy in the near future.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Jim McGovern I had a letter from him.<\/p>\n

A quick timeline
\n22nd March I write to him asking him to oppose DEB<\/acronym> and what he intends to do.
\n7th April he doesn’t show up to debate.
\n7th April I get letter from him.<\/p>\n

This letter was not to do with the DEB<\/acronym> (still waiting Jim) but was his Election called, I’m not MP<\/acronym> *cough* vote for me *cough*<\/q> excuse to use up his branded stationary to all constituents. Pretty insulting right?<\/p>\n

The content of the letter was even more so:<\/p>\n

\nI will not be able to ..deal with constituency casework over the election period.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Liar<\/strong><\/p>\n

MP<\/acronym>s are able to work on cases for constituents<\/a> if the constituent understands they are not doing so as an MP<\/acronym> and agree for them to continue on work.<\/p>\n

So not only does he ignore my letter, he doesn’t turn up to the debate I was asking about and on the day of the debate writes to me with incorrect information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
