UK MPs - 2015 Parliament

[politicus]

Edward Argar (Conservative - Charnwood)

That's a very Tory name isn't it?

His seat is one of those that is clearly safe but still gives Labour a respectable vote.

Yes, Edward John Comport Argar is the sort of name you would give a character in a novel if it should not be too over the top, but still unmistakably Tory, but then again he is educated from Harvey Grammar School and Oriel College. Also a very Tory background.

Adrian Bailey (Labour - West Bromwich West)

Old school Party Right stalwart (background in local government and the Co-op Party) with a strong interest in complex policy issues. He represents a constituency that is bizarrely named for two reasons: the first is obvious, the second is that it includes none of West Bromwich.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

The largest town in his constituency is Tipton. 'nuff said.

Not for non-Brits.

West Bromwich West sounds like a parody of British constituency names.

[politicus]

Notorious for spending more time in his dentist practise than parliament (and the dentist practise was under suspicion in the expenses scandal)

Dentist + politician ? Must get off on unpopularity.

A dentist elected in Mole Valley.. lol

[politicus]

Continues a trend of SF replacing more active figures with reserves on the Westminster team.

Very sensible of them.
