Ha, this was post-examination, Varian! In all honesty, I'm far more scared of the hygienist, who used to be in the army, than I am of the dentist. grin

You would have to be quite brave to express a strongly held political opinion to your dentist

A friend and I had exactly this conversation at lunchtime SueDonim, a total shambles ...

It's the impossible question. confused

I was at the dentist today. Four of us - dentist, hygienist, receptionist and me - were discussing the situation, mainly in terms of not one of us wants to vote. I've been at this practice for well over 30 years and have never discussed politics with them before. What a shambles we're in. sad

ditto Urmstongran you can elect a MP then they flip flop and change parties and those who elected them have no recourse.

Stuart Brady is my neighbour but never bothered to knock on the door!

At one time you’d vote for the party where you like their values. Now MP’s go rogue ... once they get voted in, who knows?

It’s now said they are not there (in the HoC) to represent us lot. They do their own thing!

So dragonfly who the heck would know any more?

I agree, dragonfly. I did see Stuart Brady outside our co-op but that is as good as it gets!

I am really disappointed that NM is not going to stand again as I think she has been a good constituency MP.

50 MPs are standing down including our own Nicky Morgan. How do we know how good the new candidates are as they have no track record?
