Labour MP for Walthamstow, Stella Creasy, is someone I could vote for. She talks a lot about the "co-operative tradition" of Labour politics and has made a name by campaigning against payday loans – an example of her traditional approach to fighting for the dispossessed. The idea that this is about poor people's profligacy dumbfounds her. "I mean, this is how people are making ends meet. You could see there was this kind of perfect storm coming, where prices are rising and people are losing their jobs or getting their wages frozen. So even if they were good with money, it just eats everything up." http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/apr/08/stella-creasy-perfect-storm-coming
