    My local MP is John Healey

    IN MY OPINION he's done feck all for his constituency. He's kow-towed to the instructions of Labour HQ on Brexit and as a consequence he's consistently voted to thwart us leaving the EU regardless of the referendum result and what his voters think.

    So why should I trust him or vote for him?

    If he disappeared overnight I would celebrate

    I just don’t get how so many people hate him but most of them would still vote labour out of habit, I just find it depressing how labours held it for over hundred years it makes me feel like our town no better than Russia

    He's a career politician, most of his career anyway, worked for a year or so in Parliament as a journalist and then became an MP, he obviously had the right connections.

    The previous MP was an English teacher for many years and then Head of English, we need more MPs who have spent more than 5 minutes in the real world.

    It would be nice to think we're voting for more than Brexit. Sadly every other issue like NHS and education will be put on the back burner until Brexit is sorted. This could take most of the next 5 years to sort and money scimmed off NHS/education to keep the books balanced.
    TBH I don't think it matters who's incharge of this sht Fest, the damage is all ready done.
    All they had to do was elect a couple of people from each party to front the brexit negotiations. Work as a team to move the country forwards. NO we get a parliament full of blackstocks. Me me me

    Jimmy Saville is dead. Unlike a lot of serial offenders still roaming free in Rotherham.

    I’ll be voting for any party who can stave off the threat of Corbyn or Swinson getting into power.

    God forbid that happening.

    To be fair Kerr I think most people who think rationally will agree with this, the extremists however won’t agree

    If you see Corbyn as a left wing extremist (interested to hear which of the manifesto commitments you would say is extremist?!), are you not including Farage as a right wing extremist by the same token?

    Sarah champion will be voted back in by the Rotherham public. She won't have to phone or knock on doors to campaign. I don't want Labour in power. I want Brexit. Waste of time voting for any party other than Labour in Rotherham and I won't vote for them.

    Most RUFC are totally exasperated by opposition fans mocking us for our recent social history so now is the chance for the town to say it was unacceptable and we,re doing something about it by voting out the inept council.

    Won,t happen though
