I think this is actually pretty positive for democracy.

I agree. I was actually querying the use of the phrase "put the boot in".

Also don't forget that she can stand in the by-election, so were there sufficient of the just under three quarters who didn't sign the petition prepared to vote for her she'd be re-elected. That said I very much doubt that is going to happen in this case.

I think it is extremely likely that she was elected last time because she was the official Labour candidate. People don't generally vote for a person, they vote for the person who represents the party they support. Fiona Onasanya doesn't represent Labour anymore. This recall election is entirely the right thing to do IMO.

People are generally more easily induced to act against someone they think is "bad" than to provide positive support for someone they think is probably right or good (in my experience).

It comes as news to me that there even is a recall process. 

Yet another bit of grandstanding by that irresponsible idiot Cameron.
