Around 200 eager beavers have applied for the safe Conservative seat of West imageSuffolk to succeed Richard Spring. I believe they include a recently elected MEP.

Being elected an MEP back in June was a huge privilege, and I do not understand how they can now renege on pledges they made to constituents during what was a very tough election campaign and decide to switch jobs.

The same obviously goes for UKIP’s Nigel Farage who is standing against the Speaker John Bercow. You’ve already been elected into office for five years, doesn’t that count for anything?
