Saw something interesting on C4 news tonight.
Stella Creasy had e mailed constituents to attend a meeting explaining her reasons for voting for Syria airstrikes.
All done rather quietly to not much publicity.
Can't see much about it on the net at the mo'.
C4 cameras were outside, no one was waving a banner, there was no protests or chanting going on, and most of the people interviewed were older folks.
Most expressed their frustration that she was not listening to them and felt she did not represent their views.
She said something about it being her job to act as she thought more so than how they thought.
Did not go down well.
I do believe there are elements of nastiness going on, but this was all very present, sober, and correct.
