Others - men and women - do the same, but we're talking specifically about him. If he wants to give purely personal opinions he should do it when he stands down (or is voted out) and not use his position for personal rants.

disappointing contribution from you there. hes been in and out of parliament for 37 years, I think its a tad hysterical to demand he leaves parliament and write his entire career off and totally ignore 37 years of hard work.
