HearFromYourMP

This is a service that encourages your MP to talk with you about things they think are important, and it gives you a chance to talk back. It’s a simple, low-effort way of keeping tabs on your MP’s interests - HearFromYouMP

You just enter your details, and you're added to a queue of other people in your constituency. When enough have signed up, your MP will get sent an email which will say “25 of your constituents would like to hear what you’re up to. Hit reply to let them know”.

If they don’t reply, nothing will happen, until your MP gets a further email which says there are now 50, then 75, 100, 150 — until it is nonsensical not to reply and start talking... When your MP sends you mail it won’t be one-way spam, and it won’t be an inbox-filling free-for-all. Instead, each email comes with a link at the bottom, which takes you straight to a web page containing a copy of the email your MP wrote, along with any comments by other constituents. To leave your thoughts, you just enter your text and hit enter. There’s no tiresome login — you can just start talking about what they’ve said. Safe, easy and democratic.
