MP

FOR a man who never wanted to be an MP, Michael Wills seems to have come to terms with the role. After winning the North Swindon seat in Labour's landslide 1997 election victory, he increased his majority in 2001 and is now looking for another term in Westminster.

But, in spite of joining the Labour Party when he was 16, he was never aiming for Parliament. "I never really wanted to be an MP," he says. 2But I was very worried by what happened to the Labour Party in the 1980s and when we lost the 1992 election I thought it was important that I became involved."

And Mr Wills has enjoyed the job. "By far the best thing about being an MP is the opportunity it gives you to help people who otherwise would get no help at all, he said. When I am able to help it is a really wonderful feeling."
