17 divisions listed. - 28 March 2014 09:59262980i can never work out where charlie stands on the eu, clair makes it quite clear that she supports staying in.
- 28 March 2014 10:09262981Well he seems to vote against a referendum so probably he is for staying in?Audere est facere.
- 28 March 2014 12:55263006Charlie is nowadays pretty much as eurosceptic as I am, given that it is now becoming clear that our major European partners will not allow a major renegotiation of our membership terms. However as long as this parliament lasts he is in the difficult position of needing Cabinet and transport ministers' goodwill while the future of the port is undecided. Therefore he will have to be loyal to Cameron and may sometimes have to vote against his conscience in order not to scupper four years' progress on the port. I'm sure you wouldn't want the Peoples' Port baby to be thrown out with the bathwater?I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 28 March 2014 13:09263012I will not be voting but if I did it would have to be blue but only because they said we will get the vote on the EU in 2017 but would it happen.
In the pass both partys have lets us down on this one but by voting reds they have already said under them the UK will stay in the EU.
Voting for any other party I think would not work unless UKIP get more then ten seats I cannot see that happing they might get one or two but even if they did Dover will not be one of them.
I think the reds will take Dover at this time they are the only ones out there trying but if they do it will be without my vote. - Brian Dixon

28 March 2014 15:48263022vic,thats another false promise from the blues.remember the 2010 promise we still waiting for it to turn up. - 28 March 2014 16:30263026Peter post 5
I like charley boy , I think some of his campiness are good ,especially the tax avoidance reform
BUT he cannot go around Dover district claiming to be an EU OUT politician,
Then going to Westminster and voting every thing ,EU IN.
He needs to be truthful with the voters.
As for David Cameron black mailing charley boy , is this the MP for Dover
"He needs to grow a pear"
- 28 March 2014 17:18263028Spot on Keith, Charlie is faced with a choice, does he vote to stay in and get promoted or does he say he wants out and get cast adrift by Cameron. That's why we don't see Charlie as much these days, he's too busy cosying up to the boss.
Come on Charlie, are you representing the people of Dover or are you just another career politician?
Fair play to Clair, she's already said she's pro Europe, I respect that stance. - 28 March 2014 17:43263030in fairness to charlie, peter is right in that horse trading has to be done for the overall benefit of the district. the future of the port is vitally important long term so a bit of brown nosing is the right thing to do at this stage.
after april the 9th it will be different as the port issue will be out of the way one way or the other and he will then be judged on his stance. my suspicion is that charlie doesn't see europe as a major issue in the same way that most members of the public do. - 28 March 2014 18:04263031Possibly Howard but I started a thread about Charlie last week and Barry and Peter got very defensive.
Is he working or the constituency or is he trying to get another promotion? - 29 March 2014 07:19263044Charlie is a friend who chooses not to participate here but on facepest and twitter where the audience is much wider. As I think he works his socks off for the district I thought your attack a bit unfair, David. A bit disingenuous to claim later that it was merely light-hearted ribbing.
After the referendum vote I took him to task and he explained his reasons, which satisfied me. At the end of the day an MP knows he will attract flak whichever way he votes on such an issue.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson - 29 March 2014 09:40263055Peter, if the worst Charlie gets is a bit of goading from me he'll sleep well at night, I'm not being rude or personal. I know he doesn't come on here but we both know he'll be aware of what's being said.
It's obvious to me he's waiting to be told what his thoughts are on EU.
Charlie has a predicament, does he try to get promotion or does he try to get re-elected? Charlie is a clever bloke, he'll be very aware of that predicament Peter, because both you and I are and he's far smarter than me. - 29 March 2014 11:58263066He doesn't want promotion. But turning down the PPS job would have looked disloyal. Disloyal MPs find that they can't get ministers to pay attention to their constituency issues. What Howard says about horse trading is right.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 29 March 2014 19:36263112So peter lets simplify this.
If charley doesn't back David Cameron on closer ties to an EU supper state project

29 March 2014 19:42263114I will make evan more simple. tow the line or else. - 29 March 2014 20:02263119i think we are being a bit unfair on charlie as the person's port is his overriding cause now that the hospital is being built.
no doubt gwyn had to bit his tongue a few times on issues in order to get the high speed train here. - Brian Dixon
