Writing to my MP to get Boris to resign

[DestroyerOfHouseplants]

I am thinking about writing to my MP asking him to get Boris to resign. I've had enough of his lies, his people partying, everything. Has anyone else done this? Will it do any good?

I've emailed mine, but she's a total knob-head apologist, so not holding out any hope. Just wanted to voice my displeasure.
I've voted against her for over 15 years but she sticks like shit to a blanket.

You’ll get a standard reply, ready prepared (couple of versions to cover different points of view) probably pp’d by an assistant.
Yes that's true but I know that MPs do tally up how many letters they get on topics. If the PM is taking up lots of correspondence times that's important if they are wondering whether to support another leader instead.“

Nope. My boss was in a very safe seat (not Tory!) and she didn’t give a shiny about contrary constituents’ opinions.

She might not give a shiny shite about their opinions, but she won't be able to ignore the number of letters she's getting!

She didn’t receive/read the letters. I did.
I proffered opinions on trends but I assure you, in a safe seat (30 years plus, now), they really don’t care.

(40, actually: they really don’t care in safe seats but write away if it makes you feel better, their assistants will “file” your letter)

So, you work for an MP, and you actively hide away constituents' letters, @MrsSkylerWhite?

Is that actually what you're saying?

No, as I said I used to work for an MP. She is still an MP. I left a well paid job in the private sector to do so because I, stupidly, thought I would be making a difference.

I did not hide letters! Quite the contrary. I did my very best to bring them to her attention. She wasn’t particularly interested if they did not agree with her politics.

That is why I no longer work for an MP. I resigned as soon as I realised a. they were mostly there to further their own aims and b. the idea that I could do some good was incredibly naive to the point of laughable.
I stuck it for just over a year. I jumped, I wasn’t pushed. Received a very oily letter a couple of weeks later thanking me for my hard work: written by my replacement, no doubt.

I shared an office with the wife of another MP, she was his PA. She told me before I left that I ought to stand because I had been a damned sight more effective in helping constituents than my boss was.

(I wrote the replies, too. She signed them all without reading).

I sent a very heartfelt and straightforward email to my MP today. Half an hour later BBC were reporting he'd submitted his letter. You might think it is a coincidence but I'm claiming it for me.

Thought I'd update. When I heard my MP had sent his letter in I sent another email thanking him and expressing my hope that others would follow. I've had a reply thanking me for the email, I hope it is from him but either way it was obvious my emails had been read.

Can Graham Brady send himself a letter?

BBC News: No 10 denies Boris Johnson has lost control after raft of resignations

Five resignations down and Boris is now quoting from The Lion King to his staff. This Starmer/Savile lie he’s been saying is so corrosive of public trust in politics, coming on top of everything else. Does he even know the difference between truth and lies? He needs to go.

IF they get the 54 letters, is it only Conservative MPs who vote on the no confidence vote ?
I tried looking it up , but I didn't get very far.

@MrsSkylerWhite that may be true of the MP you worked for but I know that other MPs do indeed take note. ( I used to work in the cabinet office ).
