    The Telegraph article makes an exceptionally important point about his constituents. So David Milliband was off making a small fortune on the international lecture circuit, as well as £70,000 for 3.5 days' consultancy with a Californian eco-technology company.

    Why constituents put up with this lack of representation, I just don't know (well, I do, it's that they feel they cannot vote for other parties).

    But when Nadine Dorries went off for a few weeks, there was huge publicity. When Brown, Milliband, Darling and the others do, there's not a whisper.

    Don't you know quoting from the Daily Mail is a big fail?

    Conservative voters have dignity, and manners, and even when we sat through years of Labour ruining the country we didn't resort to bile and nastiness..

    Tories are the people the word selfish was invented for. There are right and wrong and good and bad in every political movement but the tories cannot get away from the fact that their values are basically self interested!

    What, you mean like voting in a party so you can get loads of extra benefits without doing a days work in your lives, and if its not enough, all you have to do is open your legs and sire another no hoper brat poverty wouldn't exist without socialism.

    (...dignity and manners....)

    ...as opposed to voting for a party that will lower taxes on the rich even though we are in a crisis and we are supposed to be all in this together? so you can get through the crisis without doing your bit?

    By the way you might be surprised to read this too....but plenty of the social classes A, B and C1 vote Labour......it's not just the unemployed...some people actually believe that the poor shouldn't be left to live in poverty and don't want the family in your picture to have no hope...

    ..the rich have only recently married for love...before that most of their marriages were arranged...so having children to ensure a standard of living is nothing new...ask the wives of Henry the Eighth...

    I'm sorry but you are just simply wrong there. I moved south from the North and in London the local work shy chavs all vote tory actually. 'Povery wouldn't exist without Socialism' ....that's unbelievably stupid even for you. Do you know anything about history? ever read any Dickens....Victorian London etc?.....Geez....I give up.

    So all areas outside London should be a slum? What about all areas within London - I guess Kensington & Chelsea contribute more than the East End - so they should be able to keep all the money they raise in taxes? How far do you want to take it?

    Any area that isn't productive shouldnt rely on the rest of the country to support it. Get off your backside, start a business and improve the area. Don't burn down your council flat because they cut your benefits.

    I want it taken as far as people stop taking the p@ss and expecting others to provide a standard of living that quite frankly, they don't deserve.
