I don't doubt that he is hard working I guess I just don't agree with what he stands for. I look at the party as opposed to the person, maybe that's wrong? But for me, anyone that can align themselves to the Liberal Democrats and their policies (or lack of) isn't quite right in the head!... again, personal opinion! I also don't see how he can effectively manage 2 jobs. I was in work this morning at 7am and I'm still here now!! I'd expect John to be working the same sort of hours, if not more as an MP and your telling me that he can be an effective Cllr too. Something has got to give and it would seem that it's his role of representing the constituency nationally that has. (Whole post a bit tongue in cheek bearing in mind I agree with the Lib Dems over their stance on the Government paying out half a billion in redundancy packages to pencil pushers!!)
