    Attempt to speak with MP or even get a response has proved fruitless:

    Local (conservative) MP has to resign over Cash for questions
    By-election scheduled for 5th June
    Contacted conservative MP form nearest constituent to act on my behalf
    Initially agreed to, but heard nothing since
    New conservative MP gets elected on June 5th
    Attempted on several occasions to contact him and try and meet but to no avail.

    Clearly he is more interested in sorting out his new entitlement, to a bottomless expenses pot !!!

    So in summary, I have been screwed over and been unable to air my views, due to my original conservative MP breaking parliamentary rules...how ironic !!!!!!!

      I wonder how many know this is even coming.

      Several thousand could be in for a very nasty surprise (brown envelope) in a few months time.
      They should have had enough clues by now.

        Think so too.

              Believe me, I have been airing my views every other way possible the previous post was just to show how the official procedure for me to pursue this matter with the government, was floored by my MP's own incompetence and subsequent rule breaking. Crooks....the lot of em !!!

                Those topics should be kept to dark corners of Parliament.

                I even found an MP tweeting about cupcakes today. Banality seems to be the norm.

                  I can see some more people are taking to Twitter this afternoon. Good stuff!

                  Now, next stage is to tweet outside our small circle. Tweet at MPs, political activists, libertarians, journalists, etc. You'll be surprised who's on Twitter.

                  For example:
                  @Peston will tweet to Robert Peston, Economics Editor for the BBC
                  @justallianceuk will tweet this group: "an alliance of people and groups united in our opposition to the government's proposed attack on legal aid and the criminal justice system"

                  There are so many targets out there, the sky's the limit.

                    Most of the traffic on dotas-scandal.org now coming from Twitter (including a Hon. Member of Parliament who just actually went through the whole site).
