The identity of geographically isolated constituencies is important in the wider sense for it indirectly promotes economic development and investment. I have no problem with having no MPs at all and having decisions affecting Wales being made here in Wales by a proper Parliament rather than having decisions being imposed by London based parties with London based agendas. Unfortunately the current political process entails sending MPs to London to represent constituencies in Wales. So be it but lets have representatives who do a decent job on behalf of Wales rather than representatives that go up to London just to make up the numbers!Penri Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388848361225860823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702739626070775004.post-27919518706131555582010-03-06T18:39:50.839+00:002010-03-06T18:39:50.839+00:00It seems you have forgotten your own parties polic...It seems you have forgotten your own parties policy Penri!<br /><br />Remember that you wish to set up an independent Wales, so there would not only be no Ceredigion MP, but there would be no Welsh MPs whatsoever.<br /><br />Or are you forgetting the policy deliberately for electoral gain, much as Ieuan Wyn Jones does on the issue of nuclear power when he is in Ynys Mon?Matt Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651411292766694246noreply@blogger.com
