Fair point, although we'd be writing MPs across the entire country I imagine.

This though, annoyed me.

"MPs rather naturally take a sudden influx of identical or similar messages with a large pinch of salt, since they know that what they are seeing is stuff from a minority of constituents who are either impassioned/neurotic about the topic concerned.."

Are they really saying that they trivialise for instance, the feelings of some locals up in arms about the closing of an A&E? Perhaps they would rather take more notice of one man who is annoyed about dog poo on the pavements because thats easy to deal with, presumably.

Politicians - out of touch these days? No way!
