Following some discussion on other threads. A few helpful tips. I work for an MP.
You can write by post to any MP to the House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA. It will take slightly longer than normal post as it gets security screened. Or you can write to their constituency office- usually details are on their website. If they aren’t, it may be because they have had so many death threats that they’ve been advised to protect their staff by not publicising the address.
Nearly all MPs have email addresses- usually (not always) [email protected] though they sometimes have different ones as well.
You can use www.writetothem but this is an external website- not a government website.
They are not supposed to act on behalf of non-constituents, so they will need your full address & postcode so they can check the electoral roll for your name. If you do not give it, they may not answer. Some may also ask for a phone number.
This will all be kept securely- if an MP doxxed someone it would be headline news. As a member of MPs staff I’d lose my job if I doxxed anyone. MPs offices deal with super-sensitive info every day (benefits, financial info, detailed medical info etc).
Some MPs will reply by email, others always write letters back. This is partly to stop email ‘ping-pong’ where a constituent emails replying to every reply demanding more and more detail. With around 70,000 constituents that gets very time consuming.
Be patient- with around 200-300 Incoming emails a day, with 1/4-1/2 from constituents, it takes time to get answers back.
Don’t copy & paste generic emails. Make it personal. Ask specific questions. Say how it will affect you.
Depending on the party, you can ask for a ministers’ view as well.
Don’t expect miracles. Many MPs are waiting to see if the consultation leads to anything, and they’re preoccupied by both Brexit & party infighting. (Maybe not the lib dens. I don’t think they’re fighting)
But WRITE!!!
