Government's Attack on Nature
Re: Government's Attack on Nature
I have just written to my MP, Anne-Marie Morris, protesting about the Government's plans.
If you do write, please be aware that MPs tend to place less weight on letters from constituents that cut and paste material from elsewhere, and more on personal statements linked to voting intentions. A clear and crisp statement of your own feelings is better than long passages of well-reasoned argument.
Also, remember to add your name, address and telephone number at the end, so the MP's office can verify that you are a constituent.

Re: Government's Attack on Nature
Just heard on the radio that there are 8 million members between all these organisations.
That's 8 million people of voting age, presumably. Add in all their family and friends, and it's a truly enormous number.
A quick letter to all those MPs would change things pretty quickly.
Most MPs want to know how their constituents feel. Give them the voice to speak for you.
As Robin says, no need for a thesis, just a line or two to say how you feel, and maybe that you'll change your voting habits.

Re: Government's Attack on Nature
I wrote to my MP as soon as I saw the letter.
And I suggested a few friends did similar.

Re: Government's Attack on Nature
I have just written to our MP (Mel Stride) telling him how horrified I am and that should the government continue with this environmental deregulation I will be moving my vote elsewhere. Will be interesting to see if he replies. SAs Robin mentioned, I didn't cut and paste a standard letter but instead told him in no uncertain terms what I thought about the government's proposals
