well, it would be a start

Apparently there was an event about blogging and politics at the House of Commons this week. Would I like my MP to have a blog? absolutely. Do I think it would change anything or make him more responsive? I doubt it!. I had a response to my complaint about the counting of ID card consultation responses from Beverly Hughes at the Home Office saying 1) that my contribution - sent via Stand - had been received and would be counted and 2) that all contributions via Stand would be treated like the poll on Teletext which (ya boo sucks!) was 2:1 in favour. This addressed precisely zero of the points I was making but does give me their sums and point of view...
