So I'm supporting the guy. Do we get transfers? If we do I'm transferring to Hain. I think this has set the minds of a lot of people, mine not least, to rest. So I’m supporting the guy.

Looking fast through the list I can some Lab MPs supporting it too (Frank Field and David Taylor for ex) “You’ll be able to find out from the Division Lists as of tomorrow. ”

You'll be able to find out from the Division Lists as of tomorrow. (Though they do occasionally get names wrong, particularly on free votes.) Or you can have a look at their past voting record to get an idea. Which MP? You’ll be able to find out from the Division Lists as of tomorrow.

He replied to one of my letters the other week but it was badly written (probably in a bar over a pint if the grammar's any indication) and he is sat neatly on the fence not saying what he thinks!! How do you get an MP to say what they really think? I’m emailing and phoning my MP but having no luck in getting a clear answer out of him.

Although on the bright side... I guess it's yet to reach the absurdity it can do in the States, where you have the ghastly spectacle of politicians who are almost (?) enthusiastic about the Death Penalty proclaiming themselves to be "pro-life"...
