LAST month Theresa May shocked the country by calling a snap General Election.

She told the press gathered outside Downing Street that evening it would be the most important election in her lifetime.

But why? She looked (and continues to look) set for a clear majority with every opinion poll going indicating huge support for her.

She argued the significance of the election came down to one thing: Brexit. The election, May claims, will give her the mandate to negotiate a hard Brexit with Brussels.

So surely in this “election of a lifetime” we should know how our MPs voted on the biggest issue around?

But Conservative Kristy Adams, who is attempting to oust Labour’s Peter Kyle in Hove, doesn’t want you to know.

When asked by The Argus how she voted last year, she responded: “I’m not going to answer that question.”

How can she expect the public to put faith in her if she is unwilling to reveal how she voted on Brexit in the so-called Brexit General Election? Granted, our decision to leave the EU is not going to change. But the terms of our exit from the EU are still to be decided.

We want our MPs to represent our views in Westminster. Brighton and Hove overwhelmingly voted to remain. The people of Hove will surely want to know what their prospective MP’s views are on Brexit. If not, how can they be sure she will best represent them?

Whatever you think of Peter Kyle, he has certainly nailed his colours to the mast with regards Brexit. Perhaps Kristy should do the same if she is hoping to win over the people of Hove.
