MPs’ Expenses v Open Primary

I’m very disappointed that our local press has chosen to lead on the continuing “revelations” about MPs’ expenses, rather than mention Spelthorne’s exciting Open Primary election next month.
None of the people I speak to -- over a hundred ordinary voters in the last 48 hours -- have mentioned MPs’ expenses. No one is interested any more!
In contrast a quarter of them are definitely going to try and attend our Open Primary next month. If you add in those who’ll think about it, over a half of those I’ve contacted are interested in the chance to help choose who could become their next MP.
