Whilst the people of Whitney may have voted Cameron in as their MP, we all know that they did so as they thought it was the right choice. Just as Labour party members chose Corbyn as their leader and potential PM.
We can just as easily vote them out.
Whilst we may have a say in who our MEP is going to be, we know that is the end of the road as far as public involvement and influence goes.
Going over the same ground here, but it's going to be a matter of opinion. I've absolutely no influence who Witney Conservatives and the constituents select and elect as their MP, nor do I have any say over Cameron becoming the Prime Minister as a result of his party gaining a Commons majority.
The same as a Conservative party member has no influence over Labour elects as their leader. They can't join, become a supporter or affiliate to the Labour Party, under chapter 2 of the rule book.
Like I say though, it's a matter of opinion.
