Oh by the way my poling card says June 10th! not june 12! My mistake in the first place.

Elections are usually on a Thursday, no idea why that should be. The other mystery is why polling cards have suddenly grown to A5 size.


I have had a similar level of response from the MEP's. I have received two replies to my snail mail letters. A "We are in the middle of an election campain so we will take longer to answer queries" from one and a reply

Exactly the kind of time voters are most likely to want to know what their policies are... (With a deadline!)

stating the consertivate MP's work as a team with each representing a different part of the SW and my letter has been forwared to the approprate MEP (I had alreay written to them anyway).

On a plus point my MP has been the most help so far, with a personal response and a note saying that I raise intresting points and can see my concerns and they have written to the Minister responsible and will contact me with a response.

May be we should all concentrate more on our MP's they seem concerned and helpful. As for the MEP's "In the middle of an election campain" what campain? As it has been noted here we are having trouble even finding out what their policies are!

So far I have had 2 leaflets from my city counciler and one from one of the political parties.
