Probably because they were elected by their constituents, hold surgeries and therefore need offices and staff. Just a guess, mind.

[THECORBYLOON]

They don't receive a salary as they refuse to give allegiance to someone they consider to be a foreign monarch yet they are happy to claim and receive money from that same monarch's Government.

[Ken4155]

Just visited their website - food for thought as to what they receive, what they claim for and what they don't claim for.

[THECORBYLOON]

Why should they receive anything?

[Khandro]

Depending on the prevailing circumstances on the day, it would be either Con. or Brexit.

I honestly don't know at the moment so I haven't voted in this poll. I live in an affluent, rural area, a very safe Tory seat. The constituency voted to 'Leave' - even the wealthy farmers in this area displayed 'Leave' posters in the run-up to the referendum. Our current MP is, however, a Remainer, and represents neither me nor his constituency. How can I vote for him? Simple answer. As things stand at the moment, I can't.

Like someone else here, I too think this would attract more attention in 'News'. The Answerbank hides its light with these mostly unused sub-sections.

Right now, Conservative. I to live in a rural fairly affluent area ( believe it or not there are such area's in the Black Country ) and our MP is a leaver as are her constituents ( I voted leave ) so no reason at all to change my vote.

[Spicerack]

^ I don't believe that, tony. I've been there.

[LadyCG]

I can't believe six numpties actually said Labour. Look at the mess they got us into last time!

[LadyCG]

Spice, I live in the Black Country too and in a quite affluent area. It's a conservative stronghold right on the edge vast greenbelt countryside with outstanding schools.

[waterboatman]

I've met most of the potential candidates.

[waterboatman]

The only one that made any real sense was the Conservative girl. I've promised her my vote.

[Maydup]

I cant find it in me to support any of the parties, if anything more central came along I think it would do well. If forced to, which I'm not, I'd chose LibDem if only to acheive proportional representation.

[woofgang]

right now I don't know. I would do what i usually do and do my due diligence very close to the actual election.

[rockyracoon]

I really don't know. We have the shower that is Eleanor Laing, and I really don't think I can put a cross by her name, I definitely won't vote for any of the other parties, so for the first time in my life, I might abstain.

[Tashi]

I will be voting Conservatives with my fingers crossed :-)

[Bobbisox1]

We live in a safe Labour seat but I'll be voting Tory,that's if I vote at all, so fed up of the spitting of dummies from their prams when they didn't get their own way

[CrapAtCryptics]

Steve Barclay is my MP and he has voted exactly as his constituents told him, although with 70+% leavers he didnt have much choice.

[tamborine]

Brexit confirmed by www.gov.uk ;)

No such election to be held. The Commons is determined to thwart Brexit, but the Soubreys etc know that they will lose their seats in a general election.
