Background: I am trying to convince the MP for Harwich and Clacton (Douglas CARSWELL) that it is a bad idea to sell publicly owned tennis courts to build privately owned flats

Good news:

Douglas has a website and I can email him

Great news:

Douglas emails me back!

Bad news: He will only reply to me using the postal service and refuses to use email.

Not so great news: He will also not answer my questions as I do not live in his constituency.

“There is a Parliamentary convention that an MP only deals with people living in their constituency”.

WIBBI it was ok for me to care about an issue that was NIMBY
