Yeah… same here. You simply can’t undo math

I don’t know if it is proper practice to contact the local MP in England/UK to let them know how unrealistic what they are doing is.

As a Canadian, we can contact our MP of the House of Commons, or our MLA for the provincial legislature to voice our concerns — they will not necessarily listen, but it is Alana us worth a try

It is perfectly proper practice. Whether the intended recipient ever gets to see it or not is one thing ! And the nasty suspicion that,that particular course of action would lay you open to a lifetime of unwanted political messages is another !!

I messaged about a bunch of issues to my (former) riding’s MP… I never received any political messages afterwards. Only acknowledgements that the message was received.

Your experience might, and probably would, vary from mine

I am pleased to hear you stayed free of spam politics from that source !
