For those who are trying to understand what Yvette Cooper MP has been doing since she was elected by the people of Pontefract & Castleford in the 1997 General Election. You may find it interesting to look at the things that she has supported or voted for in Parliament.
Once upon a time an MP could go to London, vote for who or what they wanted and probably, nobody would ever really know what they had been up to. In fact they could vote one way and say something completely different when they were back in their consitituency. With the wonder of t'internet, we can now see how helpful, or valuable they have been in supporting their electorate or not.
The Public Whip web site will answer all your questions and will even allow you to compare Ms Cooper with people who vote in a similar way. In this case Tony Blair 99.2% voting match and Gordon Brown 98.4% voting match.
For those that have wondered, unlike Lord Lofthouse her predecessor she may have not been much cop as a constituency MP (really good at Friday photocalls though). She has however been really very supportive of Tony & Gordon and that has worked wonders for her ministerial career... Have a look at Public Whip, here. I guess both she and Ed want to maintain their rise and lifestyle.
