  1. The one you elected.


  2. Don't Waste your time, it's an exercise in pointlessness.

  3. Assuming yu are in the U.K. you should write to your localM.P.

  4. Your local MP is responsible for representing you (and everyone else in your constituency) in the House of Commons.  This link between the MP and his local area is probably the main argument for keeping our first-past-the-post electoral system and not switching to come sort of proportional representation.

    If your local MP is a cabinet minister it is likely they will not have as much time to help you as a back-bencher, but wields much more influence, so could still be a useful ally.

  5. Your local MP, I would say

  6. Find our online when your local MP has his next surgery. MP's hold these every couple of weeks in their constituency, they are open meetings for the locals to discuss there issues. If you know who your MP is, and which party he's in, you could phone the local party/ constituency office. To find out when the next one is, or to make an appointment to see them.

  7. Phone your local Town hall, and ask who the Member of Parliament is for your district, he will have a contact phone number, albeit his secretary, and chat to them, but send anything in writing and keep a copy.  Good luck.  

  8. Start with your local MP and then whichever Minister has

    responsibility for the area of law you want to change.If you're serious and it's important what about exisiting campaigning groups, charities or quangos involved in the relevant area or start your own.Not sure I'd have the energy myself.However you pursue it it is likely to be a long haul.There is probably a big queue already.

  9. As people have already said, your local MP is best start but if it an issue to do with one of the major portfolios of a cabinet minister like health, education, defence then I would copy them the letter too.

  10. What I find worrying is your question.

    You can write to your MP.

    If you feel passionately about it, and it's a matter of national concern - you can write to every MP.

  11. local mp, but one person isnt going to make much of a difference so get your friends to do it too

  12. Your local MP first. Although going straight to the MP can often just be thrown aside and ignored. Try going to the media and gathering support first. ;)
