How many times have you received boilerplate replies?
It would be cool to compile a list of responsive and unresponsive MPs…
Three different MPs. The issues were about planning permission being denied for a structure that everyone else down the road has, an issue I had with the CPS who lost the evidence after I was stabbed and refused to formally charge the person and the reduction of the number of parking spaces in my area by 50% resulting in people fighting in the streets over spaces (literally!).
Privacy, copyright and digital rights issues, I vote with my feet.
With other issues, I wield a solicitor now. It's a much better use of time and money and that is saying something.
I wrote back explaining that I didn't believe that was the way democracy was supposed to work, the politicians are there to represent the people, not the other way around. The next reply was sympathetic to my view, but I have my doubt that my opinion was actually represented there.
