Now you'll notice that many of the categories don't have a score, so it may be that Andrew is actually more progressive than it appears, but the site relies on 'crowd sourcing' and has no information in these areas. You can contribute and provide information at the bottom of Bingham's page on the site.
One more thing, this website is the work of Progress, a political organisation linked to the Labour Party, and Blairite at that - so their our claim to be progressive in any meaningful sense is, to say the least, tenuous. This is essentially one bunch of right-wingers criticising another. Nonetheless, it's an interesting and useful resource in our quest to paint a picture of Andrew Bingham.

What utter b******s. Is 'progressive' a good attribute for an MP? If so, why? What is your (or anyone else's) definition of 'progressive' in this context? And how does that relate to whether this (or any other) candidate will be good for High Peak?
ReplyDeleteI'm passing on the information - I'm not behind 'rate my tory'. I'd give them all 0% as default anyway. As for who is good for High Peak - whatever that means - I don't think any of them are, but this chump is most likely to win, so he's a target.
