The other day I was having a 'what has my MP ever done fof me?' moment after receiving a canvassing leaflet through the letterbox. Then I remembered this that I had seen a few days earlier. So I faxed the article to my MP pointing out that his fellow MP had been advocating the go ahead of a very contoversial Dam project in Turkey. I asked what the party policy would be in future, on underwriting projects in Turkey. I got a reply the very next day (the power of election/vote fever) which said the matter was being looked into !!
So now I know what my MP does all day - he looks into things (goldfish bowl, glass of beer....) when he is not being a labour whip
