Write to your MP, maybe

Our local New Labour lawyer MP, Emily Thornberry, is not yet famous for her love of hard work. http://www.writetothem.com/stats/2005/mps is a site that allows people to write to their MP - and get an answer.

Their published statistics for 2005 show that Emily managed to come 679th amongst the MPs for her ability to reply to letters. And they only ranked 687 of them...
Even Tony Blair - for this at least he has an excuse - managed to pip her to the post at 678th.

This means that she answered 8.9% of the 152 letters she received within 2-3 weeks. Not quite sure what she spent £13,169 of postage and stationery on then for last year's expenses. Anyone have any ideas?
