Yvette Cooper needs to go

After watching an interview from the Daily Politics show between Yvette Cooper and Jo Coburn it is crystal clear, this woman does not represent her constituency and needs to be kicked out of her seat. The reason for this is the toxic subject of immigration. Jo reminded Yvette there was 66 per cent support for a BREXIT in Yvette's own constituency, but yet Yvette was on record multiple times as having supported the remain camp. In a typical back peddling exercise we see Yvette hop skip and jump backwards, doing everything she can to make herself look like she was trying to advocate means to tackle immigration, but at the same time was a remainer. The two views are contradictory. An MP should represent their constituency, so Yvette has gone against the opinion of her own supporters who were massively in favour of BREXIT. Yvette Cooper's seat as an MP is untenable because of this.

Yvette Cooper is MP for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford, this constituency is in West Yorkshire but it is clear from her accent she is not from this part of the UK. Prior to 2010 this her constituency was Pontefract and Castleford where she became an MP in 1997, taking over from an a previous entrenched Labour MP Geoffrey Lofthouse who decided to retire at that time. Lofthouse's last election victory saw him with an eye watering 23,000 majority vote, which was 69.9% of the vote.  Effectively Yvette Cooper had began her life in politics with one of the safest seats an MP could hope to gain. It has been given to her on a silver platter, she didn't need to graft, to go out and talk to the public or do anything spectacular at all. All she needed to do was stand there like an scare crow and she would of been voted in because she was the officially elected Labour candidate. 


Yvette Cooper was actually born in Inverness yet does not have a Scottish accent. Her father went down the road of being a professional unionist, so no doubt had many strong union ties. Yvette was educated in Hampshire which again is a at least 100 miles away from where she is now as MP.  She did her PPE degree at Oxford, which suggests she was fortunately supported by her parents who forked out the financial spondoolies to help her on her career path. Cooper is not a Yorkshire girl in any sense of the word and cannot be representative of a constituency she probably had never visited prior to her being put on Labour's candidate card. The whole process of selecting Yvette Cooper has a resounding smell of nepotism from the ranks. It is ridiculous MPs are selected by parties and they have not actually come from the constituencies they represent and is false representation of the worse kind. Cooper should of tried her hand at being important in Hampshire not in Yorkshire. Infact the more details which are apparent from Wikipedia and other sources indicate Cooper has led a pretty privileged life, nothing of the sort which could be anywhere near understanding the hard working people of West Yorkshire.

So again the question is, why is Yvette Cooper an MP for a constituent she had no ties with? Why is she still an MP when she clearly went against the voting record of her own constituents in the BREXIT referendum? None of this adds up and begins to stink so bad it smells nearly as bad as the nepotism which is expected in Tory party politics. Cooper didn't go back to Alton in Hampshire to represent a constituency where she grew up for good reason. In 1997 East Hampshire polled Tory with a majority of 11,000 and 48% of the vote. So in reality this woman had a privileged upbringing in a Tory constituency and enjoyed the Tory life style as she grew up. Her political career no doubt had been heavily helped by family ties to the unions. For there is no way in hell she could of had any kind of career in politics in Hampshire.

It is a sad incitement of politics when politicians do not come from the constituencies they are in some way tied to. Yvette Cooper's case is a prime example of our own government now being overtaken by career politicians who have not held jobs outside of politics, who have no unique quality which marks them out as different and a character you can identify with. The fact is Cooper could of just as well became a Tory if she wanted and certainly in a place she knew.
