Identical numbers to Blair. We are losing Tweedledee and getting Tweedleglum.

So I thought I would look at some other professed Christains.

Frank Field Pro-Chrisitan votes 10, Otherwise 11, abstain/absent 8
Simon Hughes 9, 9, 11
Ian Paisley 19, 0, 10
Anne Widdicome 24, 0, 5
So full marks to Doris Karloff.
Our local MP is bettter than his leaders.
Stephen Pound 4, 13, 12.
David Cameron 8, 2. 7.
I think he may have been there for fewer parliaments than the others.
