Never too late to terminate
/Nadine Dorries MP
If she remains in parliament can we have her word that in future she will vote on every issue in a way that reflects what the latest opinion polls say and not the way the Tory whips direct her?
I have emailed her and await an answer with eager anticipation.
According to a YouGov poll in yesterday's Sunday Times 48 per cent of people support the upper limit for abortion being reduced to 20 weeks. This figure rises to 59 per cent amongst women. Eight per cent want to see abortion banned completely...According to the Sunday Times, Dawn Primarolo MP, the Health Minister, will this week attempt to persuade MPs to retain the 24 week limit. Now, why would a government Minister want to persuade MPs to vote against the will of the people? Isn’t that why we, as MPs, are in Westminster, as representatives of the people? Isn’t that what democracy is about, accountability to the people?There you have it! No more representative democracy. No more debates and divisions. Just Sunday Times YouGov polls. That'll save a few bob and, of course, would make the fragrant Nadine (full-term) Dorries and her colleagues utterly redundant.
