Ignoring the topic of our exchange (as it is no doubt very contentious and OT for this list), here is a good illustration of Desmond Swayne's take on that: http://www.funkygibbins.me.uk/?p=1978 The comments in red and blue are quoted verbatim and in strict order from a number of emails that went back and forth on the topic. In short, it appears that Desmond is an old-school Tory with an untouchable majority, and as such he knows what's best for his constituents.
