    As long as your issue fits the party line. If not its someone who will go out of their way to avoid answering the question. Or just send out form letters that are of no value.

    Unfortunatly with the current system. If your MPs is tory nothing is done about anything because 99% of issues are austerity related.

    As for labour. Currently they dont seem to have a party line beyond being competent non corrupt tories.

    Seriously in 50 plus years. I have never known anyone who had a positive result from seeking an MPs help. Just the same crap answers you hear from national figures.

    Local politicians are more help. Or at least were before austerity hit them so hard.

      My local MP got an unjust parking ticket cancelled for me, and my family and me, with a distinctive last name, write to her often upset with her party and her voting with them. Every. Single. Time.

      Others have similiar with her. Lots of MPs are like this and it’s often stuff that doesn’t fit into party lines.

      MPs who aren’t there for their constituency need kicking out. We need better systems for that.
