Does it sound probable and predictable that Margaret Hodge MP - a member of an unpopular government at the end of its third term - should experience a surge of popularity that nearly doubled her vote from 13,000+ last time to 24,000+ this time?
I'm just asking.
How many of those 10,802 votes were postal and proxy votes that are so open to abuse?
I think we should be told, don't you?
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
