sounds to me that there's bound to be a period of crossover between being a councillor and MP with regards to casework. Therefore there shouldn't be any haste in stepping down as a city councillor. What's all the fuss about. Being elected as MP means basically seeting up a small business with premises offices and staff in two different places. I would be really hacked off if a councillor was doing something for me then dropped everything just becuase he was elected to parliament. Give the guy a break - its just this sort of stuff that hacks off the voters like me.....and we ask why people can't be bothered to vote.
