To expect a response from my MP within a month?

I wrote to my MP a month ago to express my concern about something. It wasn't a request for help with a personal issue but rather a concern regarding a national issue. AIBU to expect to receive something back from my elected representative within a month of writing to him?

To pre-empt any questions, I included my full address and postcode in the email, so he should be clear that I am a constituent. I used the correct email address. My email was polite and respectful, and I wrote it myself (i.e. not a cut & paste job).

I do appreciate that MPs get lots of correspondence, so I didn't expect an instant response, but they do have staff to help with this kind of stuff and I'd have thought that four and a half weeks should be ample really.

I don't dislike the guy. I voted for him in fact. But AIBU to think that this isn't good enough?

Do you email or hand write & post?
