When I lived in Glasgow I requested the help of my M.P. on a civil liberties question of law, and again was very happy with the help and influence I recieved as part of the democratic process we have in place in this country.
Perhaps I'm just better at getting the right help I need, or am a little more realistic about what can be achieved by one M.P.  |
It was about an organisation that you can complain to about the council the Local Government Ombudsman, who is supposed to stand up for justice against the councils of this land but all I got is a whitewash!

I'm not saying I didn't get help I did get help, but when it comes to the big issues your MP can't do that much. They are good at the small things, as you have experienced and myself experinced.

Note in the "Alan Clark Diaries" currently being shown on channel Yesterday he refers to fellow politicains as "Sharks waiting for the smell of blood!" In other words how these people get to be the party candidate for a constituency is by back stabbing and so on.
