> Kate Hoey representing part of Lambeth (an entirely urban area with a significant level of gun crime, no fox hunting, and a somewhat higher-than-average proportion of utility-cyclists) has to be one of the most mismatched MP-constituency pairings ever.

> Her pet causes seem to be: Northern Irish Protestants, supporting farmers and country people generally, supporting fox-hunting, supporting the right to own guns, banging on about sport, and expressing pig-ignorant bigotry towards cyclists.

> Regardless of whether one agrees with any of those (I range from strongly disagreeing to just not caring either way), who decided she was a good match for this particular parliamentary seat?

"Who decided [Kate Hoey] was a good match for this particular
