Democracy in action

Fantastic! It looks like communicating with your MP is effective after all - serves me right for being cynical.

At the start of the year I decided to open up the channels of democracy and get in touch with my MP more often, starting with a letter on the upcoming Trident vote. Several weeks later I was becoming slightly miffed that he had not replied to my letter. I even contemplated the possibility that he had just thrown my missive in the bin. But it turns out that my sceptism was entirely misplaced since yesterday he resigned from the Government over the issue. Thanks, Nigel!
