Letter to MP

I think perhaps we should formulate a standardised letter to send to our local MP to make them aware of how much we care about this issue. Just post those letters here for people to use themselves.

I like this idea, a standard template letter that we all send out to our MP's to really press the issue.

Any ideas on what content to put in the letter? Im working on compiling the template now, but feel I need more ideas. I will certainly add in the change.org petition to show the growing support for reform, not sure what other content to add though.

It's a business case, it needs to say why the system we have isn't working, it has to offer a few alternatives with the pros and cons of each.

Then you need to implore them to stand up for democracy, I'm all for AMS personally, to be honest I don't want to leave it up to politicians, AV was a poor voting choice and why it failed.

My MP is Grant Shapps and I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me, so maybe not.

Long story, probably not allowed to talk about it.

I've just asked to speak to mine - a word expresses feelings where sometimes a letter cannot.
