Not Military Police, Members of Parliament.
They are elected to represent the interests of their constituents. However, it is only on TV, and in the minds of script writers that "landslide" victories occur.
There is always a section of the electorate who vote for one of the other candidates, and some don't even bother to vote.
So, in an ideal world, the elected MP would consider ALL their constituents before making a choice in a vote, and it is naive in the extreme to think that they will always follow the wishes of the section of their constituents who voted for them. They should consider the other constituents, especially if they wish to keep their position in the next election.

Wanting a simpler life
Every now and again I think that I would like to live in a much simpler time, and, or, place.
Before I started reluctantly collecting health problems I wanted to live on Skye, it's such a beautiful island. So peaceful and quiet.
However, now I am less physically able to do certain things, perhaps somewhere in the Scottish borders would be more sensible, but I would love to be near the sea still, or maybe certain places in Wales.
It's all just a dream though, as I am in no position to make it happen.
Maybe one day, who knows?

RIP tricycle
Three and a bit weeks ago my tricycle died.
It started by dropping the chain, so I ended up walking more than cycling. Then on the 13th of February, I set off to go somewhere. I thought that the chain had dropped off, again!.....but no, the gear assembly had come adrift, and after around 25 miles, my tricycle is no longer operable.
I am more than a bit unhappy about this. I ended up walking further than I can, and consequently have ended up back on my crutches, as I did something to my foot that means it hurts to walk with just a pair of sticks.
The vendor has briefly replied to my email, asking me to wait. But that's three weeks ago. I don't want it repaired, or replaced. I just want a refund of my money, as the tricycle is not fit for purpose. C
If they don't reply soon, I am going to leave extremely negative feedback on eBay, plus I bought with my visa card, so I might involve them. I really hope that I don't have to resort to that though.
As well as being angry, and hurt, I am sad that the tiny bit of freedom I thought that I had has been taken away from me.
