MP's in the UK means "Members of Parliament". Here in the USA, it often is used to denote "military police".

We also see the "May poll" as something we dance around on May first, not as what it really is: an election.

So we're up against a language barrier here, and some sentences in the Daily Mail do not equal truth or fact. and often serve to confuse and attention-grab with tabloid style versus actual historical facts.

Can you give us a little background and some context here?
