Getting back to that clause I referenced earlier, and Iains statement it is not a yes no decision. Thinking about it we all have a series of yes/no decisions:

1) do we think this puts existing rights for the ordinary individual at risk or not? (Yes/no)
2) if so, should We contact the MP to make our view known (yes/no)

We agree the chances of it influencing said MP are low. Nevertheless, do you just shrug and let it go?

The same applies to all the other clauses, not just this one. I did not support them all, but most I thought were improvements to the bill.


So what to do? In my case, I wrote earlier in the week and said I had watched the debates but did not see my MP in the chamber. Can he confirm he was there? If not, please summarise what other parliamentary duty he was engaged in and why he considered it more important.

I do not expect anything very productive in response, but it seemed the least I could do.
