The Cameron government voted yesterday to allow fracking under our national parks and other protected areas.
One MP who voted “aye” was Yorkshire Tory Kevin Hollinrake – whose constituency of Thirsk and Malton includes one of the places at risk of fracking, the North York Moors National Park.
Not surprisingly many of Hollinrake’s constituents are strongly against fracking. Hollinrake himself, however, thinks fracking is great:
“We should not ignore what may be the opportunity of our lifetimes.”
To be fair, with a majority of nearly 20,000 and an election still well over 4 years away – Hollinrake probably doesn’t really care what his constituents think.
Note to Thirsk and Malton voters – you get what you vote for.

Here’s a diagram for anyone interested in the more technical aspects of fracking:

My MP Mel Stride (Conservative, Central Devon) represents many thousands of Tory voters living in the Dartmoor National Park. He voted to allow fracking too. Hope all those Tory voters can reconcile that around the Aga over the holidays…

“you get what you vote for”, is only part of the problem. Just over 1/3 of the people of Thirsk and Malton voted for Kevin Hollinrake, they got what they voted for, more fool them, but just over 1/3 don’t care. Frack, don’t frack, they don’t give a frack. If thy’d bothered to vote there’s a good chance KH wouldn’t have won, the final just under a third tried their best, but they couldn’t do it on their own.
