[edit] Evidence of Helen Clark's latent toryism

Not convinced, personally. As someone who grew up in Peterborough, and a usual Labour voter, I reckon I might support giving Brian Mawhinney the freedom of the City of Peterborough myself. Mawhinney was Peterborough MP for a long time, and I think people of all political persuasions could respect the contribution he made to the city over a long career as our MP. WE need more to go on than that.

I hadn't heard that Clark had become a tory until I read it here. It might be interesting, especially in this context, to mention that Matthew Norman used to frequently make fun of Clark's ultra-loyalty to Blairism, in his Guardian column. He called her "the android MP for Peterborough" - taking her as a representative face of "Blair's babes", who in the days when Tony had a big majority and everyone liked him used to vote for whatever he said.

It seems we could find an awful lot of articles saying she was going to become a conservative, and a couple which thought she had, but I've finally found one saying she didn't. As to Mawhinney, eh, I've removed it as inconsequential and a bit innuendoish. Shimgray | talk | 22:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
