The EDM is a device which provides publicity for and draws attention to the most heartfelt views and causes to which individual Members of Parliament adhere. As such, it is a great way to determine what Westminster's lesser lights really feel and think, and a close analysis of this device is just about the most effective way of determining if he is really going to do what he promised at the hustings and represent the views and concerns of the ordinary voter in parliament.
Or whether, once he has been elected, the MP in question is more likely to undermine those views and concerns.
Let’s take a look at twenty EDMs that, I'm sure, most decent British folk would have signed if they had been an MP. Bear in mind as you do so that, of all the 350+ backbench New Labour MPs who could have signed the following EDMs, only twenty ever did. Put another way, if the cited EDMs could have been signed approximately 7,200 times by New Labour MPs, they were, in fact, given the thumbs up on just 29 occasions.
By the way, I’m no Tory, I’d try Margaret Thatcher, Nigel Lawson, Leon Brittan, Michael Hesseltine, Lord Carrington and Cameron for treason alongside Blair, Brown, Clegg, Harman, Straw, Mandelson and the Milibands if I was the boss.
"This House notes that Labour councillor, Lorraine Monk, elected in May 1998, resigned her seat due to a police investigation, following allegations of her being fraudulently entered on the electoral register; regrets the fact that the police terminated their investigations when Councillor Monk resigned; and calls upon Special Branch to re-open the investigation to ensure that any electoral fraud is firmly dealt with".

"This House condemns the Saatchi Gallery’s I Am A Camera, photographic exhibition of naked children and supports the campaign led by the News of the World newspaper, parents and police chiefs to highlight the dangers that this ‘art exhibition’ has to the well being and safety of children in this country; deplores reports that the FreshPetals paedophile website has directed its visitors to the BBC News website to view the pictures online; and believes that as child welfare issues and the real dangers posed by paedophiles to children in this country have never been greater an ‘exhibition’ of this nature is unacceptable and should be closed". (March 2001)Lord Saatchi is Jewish.
"This House deplores the acceptance by New Labour of a £100,000 donation from porn publisher Mr Richard Desmond; believes it is no coincidence that this followed Government approval for Mr Desmond's controversial purchase of Express Newspapers; notes with surprise and disappointment the remarks by the honourable Member for Hamilton North & Bellshill that New Labour does not exercise 'moral judgement' over prospective donors; believes that Mr Desmond's titles are demeaning and degrading to women; and further notes the academic research showing a link between pornography and violence against women; and calls on New Labour to end its relationship with Richard Desmond and return this donation."

(July 2003)

(April 2004)Now, let's have a look at a few EDMs those we vote for WERE happy to sign.
The following 4 February 2003 EDM was signed by 74 MPs.
"This House notes the recent upsurge in inflammatory media coverage depicting asylum seekers as disease carriers and terrorists, notes how damaging such reports can be to people who have come to this country, in search of a safe haven and freedom from political persecution but also have HIV; believes that such media attention only fuels racism and stigma which is wholly counterproductive to the necessity to treat such individuals with respect and compassion".Now, it seems to me that a politician whose first instinct would put the welfare of a would-be immigrant who is HIV-positive before any thought of the dire consequences that the importation of such diseases might have upon his constituents, poses an enormous threat to the wellbeing of those who elected him.
The unthinking sympathies of such people place the health and happiness of the native born population at tremendous risk. If the British electorate would protect themselves and their children from the blinkered generosity of these politically correct bleeding hearts, such one-sided generosity should not be tolerated.
The people of Britain should consider when, if ever, their politicians were as keen to act with such charity towards the British themselves.
73 MPs signed the following 19 June 2000 EDM:
"That this House welcomes the launch of the TUC's Stephen Lawrence Task Group's 'Root Out Racism' hotline; recognises the determination with which the TUC intends to tackle institutional racism, including the action plan with a major educational strategy... deepest thanks go to Doreen and Neville Lawrence for unstinting support and for their dignity and courage."No less than 277 MPs signed the following 11 January 2006 EDM!
"This House notes that Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27th January, which is the day the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated; recognises... the importance of remembering the horrors of the past, especially when there are those who seek to denigrate and deny its significance; acknowledges the importance of this year's theme `One Person Can Make A Difference' and hopes it will encourage people to speak out against all forms of discrimination and injustice; remembers all those who lost their lives in the Holocaust... commends organisations such as the Holocaust Educational Trust for their work in educating on the horrors of the past, reaching thousands of students across the country; and encourages all hon. Members to be involved in a day that helps to ensure that the Holocaust is never forgotten."If you are brave enough to investigate these things for yourself and wish to get a handle on just how traitoroulsy supine our MPs have become when dealing with such matters as the 'Holocaust', check out the YouTube video SECRETS AND LIES.
Here's an April 2004 EDM that, together with an amendment mentioning William Wilbeforce, 147 MPs were happy to sign:
"This House notes the leading role which Britain played in the transatlantic slave trade and that millions of enslaved persons passed through the ports of Bristol, Liverpool and London; further notes that a large proportion of Britain's black community are descendants of enslaved Africans; recognises that slavery is a crime against humanity; notes that many people of all communities in Britain want to learn about the history of slavery; calls on the Government to make the teaching of the slave trade and plantation slavery, mandatory as part of the national curriculum; commends the national museums and galleries on Merseyside for promoting National Memorial Slavery Day; and further calls upon the Government to initiate a National Memorial Slavery Day so that people throughout the country will learn about and remember the horrors of slavery".3 Tories signed the 'slavery' EDM, together with 18 Lib Dems and 119 New Labour MPs.
This last EDM was introduced by Louise Ellman.Who is Jewish.
