Labour has a little trouble respecting the views of voters

In the South West there are 22 Conservative MPs, 16 Liberal Democrat MPs and 13 Labour MPs. So how might you expect a regional committee for the South West to be made up? Step forward the Labour Government with their proposal for a committee with 5 Labour, 3 Conservative and 1 Liberal Democrat.

David Heath MP doesn’t seem too happy…

There is probably no idea, however sensible at the start and however valuable it may be, that this Government cannot turn into a dog’s dinner with their cloth-eared intransigence, their inability to give up even a scintilla of power from the centre and their inability to grasp the concepts of parliamentary structures and accountability and the will of the electorate in the regions of this country.
