You asked why politicians should be expected to do their job description of representing their constituents. You're rambling on about party politics and quite missing the original point. 

You're wasting your time mate, he's a moron.

No, I accused you of being naive and I suspect that's the cause of this ongoing 'whatever it is'. 

Your painfully simple point was easy to understand. 

You accused Moonster of being naive saying that wasn't an MP's job.

You seem unable to separate what an MP's job is and what they use their job to achieve.

Fair point. I'm also sure a lot of them get into it for what they consider noble reasons but down the line it rarely seems to pan out that way. They are party members and human beings with their own agendas and drives.  Its a very flawed system, not that I think there's a solution to it.

Can I ask why his is a fair point but my exact same point is met with condescending nonsense?

Agreed, however the need for them shouldn’t exist in this country imo

Agreed, tighter family and community should help see to the needs of the less well off where they cannot help themselves. The decades-long breakdown of both has had / is having far-reaching consequences.

However, food banks are still preferable to more state nannying.

Aren’t food banks a sign of community helping the well less off?

To an extent. It's individuals making blind donations, picked up by people blind of the donators.

'Community' proper in this context is all the neighbours knowing and helping each other directly without need of a blinding middleman.

So community only counts if you know the people you’re helping? I’ll disagree. I know that the close community isn’t the same as what it was, but I’d still say the community coming together to help those less fortunate is a sign of community. Maybe we just have different definitions of community in our minds.
