It's a lot harder to justify a helicopter for one small island that you can collect the votes from the next morning by boat than to justify for half the constituency, when many parts would probably have to be accessed by helicopter anyway.<br /><br />I think the least excusable is Warwick & Leamington.Richard Gadsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545595590359552775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-61232836849640222452010-04-23T17:14:58.468+01:002010-04-23T17:14:58.468+01:00The power of the blog???
