Yes, I heard it. I think it is disgusting, whatever your views regarding the war, that an MP (someone who is supposed to be a representative of the people) should incite 'foreigners' to kill his countrymen. As regards your questions Ned. 1) He can resign from the Labour Party (which he won't) or be ejected, but this would probably stir up more trouble than its worth. He could however, lose the party whip, which means he would not officially be part of the government back benches. 2) It is a sad fact of politics that people rarely vote for 'the man'. The vast majority go to the polling booth, see the party name they want and put a cross by it. He could be deselected by his local party committee, but this again is unlikely to happen if all the members of the committee have the same sort of views as him. Admittedly I don't know if they do, but he has had the same sort of policies for the last 4 General Elections, so they probably have.
