Your M/P. Have you ever ?

[Leekbrookgull]

Either meet them ? Found them to be helpful ? Or can't be bothered ?

 

[Frutos]

I wrote to mine once, and did get a response, but I've never actually met the slimy little tosser in person.

heh, Mr Baker I presume...

How did you guess?

 

[Yorkie]

I wrote to mine once, and did get a response, but I've never actually met the slimy little tosser in person.

I have when he came round with the local Lib Dem councillor. I made sure I wore my Albion shirt. He was just as bad in real life as I imagined.

 

[Starry]

yep.

we wrote to him over falmer (i think someone here is his sons friend or something?) and he was very positive and also about OAP free bus travel pass things and he responded the next working day.

i have met him a few times. most recently about all this alternative bin collection stuff - his thoughts on that are perfectly aligned with ours so yes, he has been very helpful.

michael mates, conservative.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I wrote a 3 page effort to your MP Frutos, via email, and got an 'official' response (automated presumably) thanking me for my comments and requesting a letter in future, presumably so he could check my constituency. Never felt the need to write to my MP, although I have responded to a few of their views and they have been printed in the Argus.

I did write to approx. 140+ MPs before the final Falmer decision and think only 4 or 5 added their signatures to the final motion.

Quite tempted to run as an independent one day... Watch this space!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I wrote to mine a couple of times on Parliamentary motions, including Falmer, but only got back a bog standard reply that he never signs these motions and wasn't interested in the issues stated, even though I deliberately put a local slant on them.

Apparently he used to be Parliamentary under secretary for public urinals (or something similar) once upon a time, and as a result such things are beneath him - so that's 1 vote gone

 

[Frutos]

I think I annoyed mine when I wrote to him (on an issue other than Falmer, actually), seeing as the tone of the letter I got back was somewhat...terse, to say the least.

 

[sonicyouth]

my local MP is david cameron.

nuff said!

 

[Horsham Gull]

my MP is Francis Maude and he is Conservative apparantly

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Am won of many wot was tant english by david lepper.

Not my MP but never not do me n e arm dinnit?

 

[withdeanwombat]

Wrote to mine a couple of times re-Falmer.

The reply was a nicely written bugger off.

Which is what he will be doing after the next election.

LibDem btw.

 

[Eggmundo]

Yes have written to him a couple of times and he was been a great help. Really showed he cared and was willing to go the extra mile for the little guy. Also speaking to friend of mine and found he had done the same for them, they were in a ridiculous situation with the NHS (incompetent administration) and he got it resolved for them. Big hand for Tim Loughton.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Only just.

I've never contacted, or seen Andrew Slaughter (Labour: Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush). I wouldn't recognise him if he headbutted me.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

I have 'meet' M/P in Leek Morrison,s !!!! So i asked her a few questions. Before meeting her,she had phoned me twice,as i had called her office. True to her party,she towed the line. She is defending a 2,500 maj in a rural area. However she does the 'talk'you see will my M/P shopping in Wilko !!! AND for whatever party you stand for,that is where the public, (i/e) me should see you.

[Djmiles]

Have never met Soamesy, and don't intend on meeting him in the near future!

 

[Buzzer]

Mine is either Lepper or that other one from Brighton. Met Lepper once when he was campaigning around the town centre He looked at me as if I was mad when I said that if the tories put a blue rosette on a fish finger I'd probably find a justification for voting for it. Oh...and I told him socialism was an ideology for those happy with mediocrity and envy. Don't think I'm on his christmas card list.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I've known mine since before he first became a local councillor. When he became a county councillor, he was chair of the council sub-committee that took all of the important decisions that I had to implement as a council transport planner - so I had to work very closely with him (including drafting press releases that were issued in his name). I used to have to phone him so often that BT suggested that he should be on my 'friends and family' list. And now he's my MP, I still find myself in occasional communication with him. He once made enquiries about buying the house next door but two to mine.

Most people who know me find it difficult to imagine that we could possibly be on speaking terms.
