Here's a draft letter that I just fired off to my MP (you can write a letter yourself by going here: http://www.writetothem.com/ ):
Dear ****,
I am writing regarding the proposed Constitutional Renewal Bill. I
believe it represents a corruption of the rule of law and a
capitulation to overweening power. It is a disgrace and must be
opposed.
The recent High Court verdict regarding the SFO investigation into BAe
Systems is a salutory reminder of the need for checks and balances on
government. Governments must be held to account, whether they like it
or not.
Yours sincerely,
For past coverage about BAe Systems:
