I'm wishing I hadn't been in so much of a hurry to bin mine but it arrived when I was far from fighting fit.

well done

Hi Barraf

well done indeed!

if you still get no response, how about copying it to a suitable newspaper?

Suggest you do send it not only to a national paper, but also to whoever is your MPs opposition candidate ..... there is an election next year you know.

Even if you dont send it around whenever i write something like this I always state the CC's on the foot of the letter so they know who else has seen this....does sometimes work.

We have some local issues which our resident labour MP has totally ignored, but when put to the Tory candidate hey presto it's all be sorted. Now I wouldnt personally vote Tory but I will vote for this chap in the local elections purely for getting involved.

Keep it up, I know it is frustrating but keep asking the question it's your right

Ted
you have the right idea play one against the other.
One year I had a lift to the polls in a Tory car and voted labour.
I n our area the Liberal party is very active and they will help in all sorts of ways and hope you will change sides.
To further our AD cause anything is fair in politics

Well done Barraff, I've enjoyed reading this too. I am sure there are many of the Great British Public who read a newspaper who would enjoy reading it too. Love She. XX

have read with interest the posts on the subject of EDM 1621 and letters to MPs. In my case I was getting no reply at all. I first e-mailed from the AS site. Then I e-mailed direct to my MP at the Houses of Parliament. Then I visited his local office. None of this got a reply, or the EDM signed. So I wrote another letter asking him to sign the EDM.
Rather than post the letter I went to his Saturday surgery and personally handed it to him. With me sitting in front of him, with several people listening in, he immediately agreed to sign. May I suggest that you all do the same and go and look your MP in the eye and get him to tell you exactly why he has not signed.

By the way my MP asked what else the AS would be doing before the election. And I also think it is a good idea to talk to the opposition!

Dear Clive,

Welcome to TP. You have a very good point here. I'm all for a spot of direct confrontation.
