Very good points made and I agree that we need more action, not just in terms of finance but also from the Government as a whole (I know many that wonder what it is exactly that they all do, other than rant and bicker, for those 11 months in Parliament? Obviously some are quite active in their constituencies, but let’s face, some aren’t.)

The main question I want a solid answer to though (by either party) is this: When will the banks start paying back the loan we gave them to keep them afloat? I am assuming (and sincerely hoping) that we are going to get it back and that all that public money – meant for public services – won’t be vacuumed into more risky, short-term investments or worse, used to contribute to the *ankers bonus pot.

Thank you for having the courage to say what the majority of the country feel – even if it does seem to contradict your party whip.

You are a brave and outspoken man who, if you were leader of the Labour party, might attract my vote away form the Conservatives.

I’ve also just listened with great interest to your interesting and educated argument with regard to intelligent design.

I must say, it’s a breath of fresh air to have someone working within our parliament who is not afraid to run solo of the pack. The courage and conviction you voice in your political, ethical and existential views is an inspiration. It’s a great shame there aren’t more men of your intellect managing our affairs.
