In the midst of committees and everything else the speculation of an early General Election are rife.  There has never been a better time to press for a written constitution which states the length of time between elections.  It is a nuisance and inconvenience for politicians, but you might say that is there life.  However there is so much dashing around, many constituents won't be getting the representation they need, families are suffering - will they be able to have a break at half term ?  Council Officers needing to make plans, their families affected; halls being booked and unbooked; countless people putting life on hold.  Why.  Because one man is trying to work out how to remain as Prime Minister for as long as possible.  Why ?  Well even that isn't clear - just what vision is there for us ?

A ray of sunshine though, a lovely letter from a constituent I visited last week

" Thanks a million for your timely help.  You came in like a guardian angel".  It was a pleasure to help her (and a welcome break from all those meetings and papers!) so a nice letter like that is icing on the cake.
