I too would like to see Andrew Dakers as our MP but I have concerns about the stance of some of the party seniors over the expenses debacle because they still just don't get it. Here's what I wrote to Nick Clegg:

"I was really looking forward to the real opportunity of the Libs ousting my current New Labour MP.

However, after watching Chris Huhne participate in the C4 news  debate on Thursday I am outraged at how totally out of touch he is with the reality of life. For Mr Huhne to  "really resent" and "entirely reject"   fair and real comment by an audience participator is beyond belief.  HOW DARE HE!!! 

And to state his claim for a trouser press is/was  in line with normal business practice and try to justify his greed by claiming to have only claimed 17% of what he is 'entitled to'  is indeed beneath contempt. I happen to manage a sales force who also 'have to look good' when seeing clients but would I allow them to pay for a trouser press on Company expenses, or would I indeed claim for one so that I can 'look good' in front of my sales force? I think not. In the 'real world'  P45's would be in abundance for this type of behaviour.  It is indeed a sad day for the Lib Dems when Vince Cable has tried so hard to lead the party (yes I know he isn't the real leader but he makes more appearances and speaks out more often than the elected leader) and people like Chris Huhne are let loose in a C4 studio to display extreme arrogance and contempt for the British public and then pout like spoilt schoolboys when they are reprimanded for their wrongdoing and greed. Mr Huhne's body language, anger, disbelief and plain arrogance were clear evidence that he has absolutely no idea of what the expenses issue is all about. I 'entirely reject'  his apology for claiming and I 'really resent'  that he claimed it in the first place.

I urge Mr Clegg to show some leadership and encourage  Mr Huhne to beg C4 for some more airtime to apologise unreservedly for his display of uncalled for arrogance and contempt for the public."
