Writing to politicians
Posted by denny on Thu 7 May 2009 at 12:05
It's been notable since I moved to London five years ago that I have very rarely received a reply from any MP, MEP or Lord that I have emailed. I think my MP in Wimbledon once sent me a postal reply to an email, that's about it.
In contrast, all of the MPs and MEPs that I dealt with while living in Milton Keynes for the ten years before that seemed capable of replying to emails within a reasonable time-frame.
I have also found that the members of the GLA and MPA all seem to reply to emails very promptly, even if just a courtesy 'thank you' for the points you've raised.
This suggests to me that the London MPs need to be trying harder.
