Yes I suppose in any seat where there is a large majority

then one individual vote makes no real difference.

Thing is here that we have had a local MP who since 2009 has not voted on any motions in the commons, doesn't ask any questions in the commons and who has to remain politically impartial.

If we don;t want him as MP then for people in my area the only choice (as in 2010 although I didn't live here then) is UKIP or the Greens. I nearly voted UKIP just to try and get Bercow out but i couldn't bring myself to do it in the end.

I think that once an MP is elected speaker then there should be a replacement MP elected for the constituency.
