There was no Parliamentary seat called Surrey West in 1984 for Keith Vaz to have run for it. There was a seat called Surrey South West which did have a by-election in 1984, but Barbara Roche ran for Labour in that one. Further according to this, Keith Vaz ran in no by-elections during that Parliament. --New Progressive 19:13, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Surname

Is it necessary to say, hence the Portuguese surname? He may be the offspring of a Goan, but there is no need to portray Mr Vaz as a relic of the Portuguese Empire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.24.184.115 (talk) 20:34, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Campaigns

A couple of sentences I have decided to take out.

1. I find no evidence to support this line: "expressing his concerns over Bully during Prime Minister's Question Time to Geoff Hoon who was taking Tony Blair's place at the time." so have removed.

2. "He has reportedly not seen the actual game at any point, and has formed his views on it from the publisher's publicity material." What reports? Please cite some.

Confusing article, this needs sorting out.

Having read the first few paragraphs I was left with the impression that Vaz had been a member of the Conservative party. Granted I was able to work out that I was incorrect with closer reference to the text but it should surely be immediately obvious. A discussion of his introduction to politics and his joining of the Labour party would clear this up. I know nothing of either however.

"I was left with the impression that Vaz had been a member of the Conservative party.", Hardly an isolated impression mind you.
