Bwaaaaaahahahahahahahaha.

Good riddance to the stinking lot of them.

Interestingly, in Scotland where there was already a ban imposed by Holyrood not Westminster (but Scottish MPs were allowed to vote on an English ban nonetheless), the trend was reversed. Of the 26 Scottish Labour MPs who voted for the Health Act 2006, only Jim Devine (-2.6) and Ann Begg (-0.2) experienced a reduction in their share of the vote. The average increase between them all was 3.4%.

Funny, that.

I was happy to see Roger Berry get booted out. It was foreseeable as the Tories swept to power in the last council elections in our ward a couple of years back. Berry lost my support after repeatedly voting in favour of ID cards and dismissing any and all objections. A well deserved defeat, frankly.

Phil Hope (Corby) -4.5% LOST
He was our bansturbating tosspot.
Good bye hopey and good riddance to Labour trash.
Tags.
ID cards.
The unelected EU .
Because I reckon the EU will fall in a few years.
Why .
Because Soviet styles of government are too big ,too inefficent cost too much and always fail.
Thats why the EU is in serious debt.
Smoking bans.
Speed cameras.
Humps.
Potholes.
AGW, con, con, con.
Iraq, Afghanistan.
Unbrideled immigration to buy votes ,that was a doozy.
Too many public service workers with ridiculous pensions no one else can afford because we are getting our arses taxed off to pay for it.
Too many fat fingers on playstations leeching off us again.
The national Death Service ,too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
God the malevolent incompetance of this Labour government is shocking.
And now the fuckers want to form a coalition with the LibDems to give us more of this shit.
FUCK OFF !

I can't see the name of my old MP Paddy Tipping who voted for the smoking ban.

Although this shit-bag stood down I would like you to include this cunt on your list as well.

I've lost count of the number of times I e-mailed this sticky fingered wretch about evidence he could produce about 'passive smoking', but he never did.

Good riddance you pig fucker you!

JJ: I didn't include constituencies where the incumbent stepped down but they lost anyway. I might add them later. ;-)

If you add those that had already stepped down Dick, please add the "Queen of Shitbags" Patricia Hewitt (Leicester West) for it was her that reneged on the WMCIU and put them in dire straits-as well as being instrumental in the formation of the ban! greed got the better of the bitch so, long may she suffer for it!

Dick,
You put Howard Stoate (Dartford) on the list, but he in actual fact stepped down at this election.

Bald headed John.

This must be seen as a warning shot across the bows of MSPs in Holyrood.

Your days of cuddling up to the Anti-Smoking lobby are numbered as well.

REVIEW THE SMOKING BAN, HAVE A PUBLIC INQUIRY INTO THE JUNK SCIENCE THAT CREATED IT, CALL TO ACCOUNT THOSE THAT GAVE EVIDENCE, AND MOST OF ALL LISTEN TO THE NEW EVIDENCE THAT PROVES THERE NEVER WAS THE NEED FOR A SMOKING BAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

OVER AND OUT, and if you don't your OUT AND OVER.

Scroll down on the link and have a look at the number of votes each party received in Scotland.

Bloody Interesting.
