The post you are reporting:
Mr & Mrs Elphicke both are exemplary reasons for not voting at all. They are products of a party machine. The major alternatives too. Characterless, dim, conformist, career-driven, managerial, wind-blown chaff. Any grit, any genuinely independent, awkward, unwhippable mind, now gets picked out early and thrown back in the field.
Actually, David Amess, whose appalling death many machine-fed MPs piggy-backed to virtue signal and reduce civil liberties further, was real grit and uninterested in personal aggrandisement. There are still a few left in the Conservative Party, fewer in Labour, none in the LDs. As for the SNP, Welsh Labour or Plaid, don't bother looking.
