Constituency Issues
Slaughter is an outspoken critic of the Conservative-dominated Hammersmith and Fulham Council, often opposing its policies. He was also a vocal critic of the West London Free School co-founded in 2011 by journalist Toby Young, arguing that the school "had no proven business case", that "local people are against the plans", and stating that the school was "ousting 22 charities and a school for severely disabled children in its rush to open".

Famous quotes containing the words constituency and/or issues:
“But also the constituency determines the vote of the representative. He is not only representative, but participant. Like can only be known by like. The reason why he knows about them is, that he is of them; he has just come out of nature, or from being a part of the thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
