Hi all,
Yesterday, I sent an email to my MP about the latest EU vote on increasing the UK's contribution. Told him I wanted him to vote no.
I had a nice e-mail back today, saying he agreed with my points and would be voting against.
Said he was also a member of 'The People's Pledge' and was fully for a decisive in or out vote
Have to admit, I never expected a reply

MPs votes are registered. Easy to check.

Yep, Nick is right...

Check the Public Whip Lists who voted for what

Check to see if he voted against here, Tony!

Thanks for the link Nick.....yep....number one on the list

I hate this politics thing....there should NEVER be a 'whip'.....the MP's should always vote with their constituents.
Using 'whips' is a classic example of 'stuff the people, we want to stay in our jobs'

Using 'whips' is an absolute slap in the face to the public

The whip system is proof positive (if it were ever needed) that party comes before country to these self serving parasites.

My MP is Oliver Letwin who is Minister of State with responsibility for coordinating government policy.... 

I wonder what his reply would have been? ..... if any!

My local Conservative MP was not on the list, it just reinforces that at the next General Election UKIP is the right vote.
