Why should he? I don't know about local government, but im sure you can contact him in the same way you can contact an MP and question him that way.

Perhaps he'd be more happy to do it in person, im not sure. If I was in his shoes, I would not want to argue(because thats what it would be in the end) over an internet forum about policies. It gets people nowhere, because people on the forum will have most likely made up their own idea about something (be it by correct information, false information, loyalty to your supportive party or whatever) and nothing he will say is going to change that.
