Writing snail mail at least forces them to give you a 'standard reply' - something along the US lines where they thank you 'for taking an interest in the administration'.
It's all gotta go - up until May I thought reform was feasible - but no longer - not since Gothenberg & Genoa...
What I do feel needs to be impressed on the sleepwalking majority at every opportunity is this;-
Tony Blair's New Labour government was elected in June with the direct support of less than 25% of the population eligible to vote. (It's now official - 23%) His recent comments at the EU & G8 fiascos on due democratic process do not bear scrutiny now these figures are disclosed. He does not have a mandate. This is not democracy. He has no right to act like a president, either.

Any info you get on the net, please consider using whatever resources you have available to get it printed, photocopied and passed around to community centres and libraries, etc etc - the only to way to wake people up is to communicate the truth to them.
try writing to your local MP, they are a lot more likely to actually read/respond to u and chances are they won't know the 1st thing aboutwhat happened in Genoa.....
If everyone bothers then it will at least have some effect. As for "it's all got to go", that's a rather vague statement but I guess what you mean is that we've got to have a communist revolution. Well, if that ever happens then great but in the mean time, any improvement in the status quo is worth striving for.
As for writing to my local MP um... yeah everyone should do this but I keep writing to her - I've written to her about 10 times in the last 6 months - I think she'll start to dismiss me as one individual person rather than being representative of the constituency in general if I keep writing so I've got to go elsewhere.
