Indeed - they really are a poor bunch. It’s so damaging too.
As a nation, we’re a laughing stock. This level of corruption and poor decision making is what you’d expect in school children, yet these people are this country’s leaders. If any sane person votes them in another term, the world truly has gone mad.

During the Heath, Thatcher, Major, Cameron and May governments, a Tory MP like Tobias Ellwood would have slotted right into the mainstream of the party. Economically centre right with a strong view on law & order and defence whilst being moderately liberal on social policies.

That you view him as ‘outside’ what a Tory should be, tells much more about you than him.

And also shows why the Tories may be in opposition for 10-18 years.
I didn't say Ellwood wasn't a Conservative. I said he was arrogant and self-important.

And my point about advice wasn't directed at Ellwood, but rather the large number of people on this thread who would *never* vote Conservative and yet offer their view on what the Tory's should do. I'm saying their opinion is irrelevant.

That's a bit of a word thing to say. Currently I won't vote conservative, yet I am (or was) probably their prime candidate to be a supporter.

Still, the amount of copy and configuration going on - 100k isn't bad!

If I'm being honest I'm not sure it's that much of a surprise.

You'd kind of expect there would be some sort of standardisation rather than hundreds of MPs all paying individual web design companies for their websites.

I'd be more interested in what the rate is given standardisation should bring costs down.

The numbers are literally in the article for you to get a rough idea.

The number in the article is the total.

It doesn't look like it gives a breakdown other than mentioning 330 invoices.

All I'm saying is it might actually be cheaper to the public purse than sending loads of MPs off to source their own website design and hosting.

Or it might not be - devil's in the detail.

David Laws or Danny Alexander could have been tories. There are labour MPs who could be tories. Mainstream parties overlap, which is easily the least stunning revelation today. What's your point?

Yeah. I'm not sure this is much of a story to froth about. £300 per website, I think they actually saved the tax payers some money.....

Why should the tax payer be paying for their PR/websites?

It's for constituency purposes as an MP not for campaigning. If it is too party political then they can't claim for it and would have to pay it back.
