the-e-dealer Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 So mnh are you praising Tessa for her voting History? Are you in favour of all the above? Have you cherry picked? I for one don't agree with all of the above but that doesn't take away from the fact that she Brought us the most successful Para Olympics ever and worked damned hard for her constituency.

mynamehere Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 This is complete since 2001. Dame Jowell did not "bring us the Olympics". I just like numbers.

david_carnell Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Posting her voting record is completely pointless. All it shows is a lack of understanding of collective cabinet responsibility.

Michael Palaeologus Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 or, it shows that she put her career as a cabinet minister before the wishes of her Constituents.

Bic Basher Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Retiring from front line politics will only fuel speculation that Tessa will retire in 2015, especially if she loses her seat due to boundary changes which would see most of ED share a seat with the current Lewisham West constituency. This still may not happen. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25574-goodbye-tessa-jowell/#findComment-576722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poll everyone on every issue?Or do you assume you were elected with the electorate aware of your position in government and that you would have to vote with the government on every issue or resign your cabinet seat? This is the nature of our democracy. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25574-goodbye-tessa-jowell/#findComment-576733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
