@AnthonyFStevens @Theriac @Wen @soren No, it was not. Origin was never the issue, and I have no idea how you jumped to that conclusion. There are loads of elected representatives who originated elsewhere in the world, never mind just the UK. People who have never been to a place for more than a visit aren't qualified to represent constituents. Why would a party need to resort to that tactic if qualified local candidates are available?
