Stephen Kinnock, MP for Copenhagen

Neil Kinnock's son, Stephen Kinnock, has been selected as a Labour candidate for the safe seat of Aberavon.

Stephen Kinnock, soon to be MP for Aberavon, Denmark
Kinnock is married to the Danish Prime Minister and is based in London which makes the rich and powerful son of millionaire peers the obvious choice to stand as an MP for a working class constituency in South Wales. Any claims of nepotism will no doubt be strenuously denied by the Labour Party who will undoubtedly have a plausible explanation as to why a part-time MP who's never had a proper job in his life and spends half his week in London and the other half in Denmark will be able to effectively represent a constituency nearly 200 miles away.

Aberavon has had a Labour MP since 1922 so it looks like we'll be seeing the MP for Copenhagen taking his seat in Westminster next year.

This wasn't the only case of 'not being a true MP for, and representing the constituents,'
I notice that -
"Boris is now widely expected to seek the Conservative nomination for Sir Peter Tapsell’s seat, Louth and Horncastle. At 84 Tapsell is Father of the House, a title held by the longest serving MP. He was first elected in a by-election in 1959, and had been overheard saying that he was “keeping the seat warm for Boris”.
Tapsell’s Lincolnshire seat is not perfect for Johnson as it is outside London. Boris would need to spend a year as both an MP and London Mayor, however the seat is ultra-safe, and would require little work to retain it at the General Election."
"Ultra-safe" and requires "little work".
I find both cases disgusting.

Kinnock Junior has as much connection with Aberavon as I do. We were both born and raised in the same part of London and he went to the same school as my sister. I'm disappointed that the Labour party in Aberavon has allowed itself to be used like this. Perhaps we can look forward to the branch chairman being rewarded in the future.

He was elected by 1 vote.
The local party has not been used in any way shape or form.
Sorry you are wrong.
Like lots of things from UKIP-inaccurate!

No Sir/Madam - YOU ARE WRONG, Kinnock however he was selected by the 'Friends of Labour' is not there to represent the constituants of Aberavon, BUT, there to use the constituants of Aberavon for his own ends. Cwmavon his home don't make me laugh, if someone hadn't shown him where it was he'd never of found it. LABOUR GROUP OF ABERAVON SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. The miners and their familes of the AFAN should never forget whta Kinnock senior did to them during the 1984 strike, when he hated the house of Lords until him and his wife were offered it, then grabbed it with both hands. SHAMEFUL, SHAMEFUL
