I'm going to do what few other people have tried. With all these protests, letters flooding our MPs offices and what not, no one has bothered to simply go down and have a polite conversation regarding the matter. I'm going to bring a few documents, but generally just sit and talk it over and see where she stands, what she can do and maybe grease the wheels a little (female MP). The worse this does is she says no and refuses. At which point I write a letter to the news paper regarding the matter.
Let us know how it works out Gimpy! If this goes well i might have a talk with my local politicians in person also! face to face interaction is MUCH different than emails and phone calls, because you can't dodge them!
