Re: So I write a letter to my MP...

Apologies if some-one already posted this, but that MP is wrong to claim that 50% of the electorate voted Labour at the last general election. Unless of course he is only referring to his own constituency, but he has not made that clear!

If you include the no-shows, Labour only received 22% of the electorate's vote at the last election. If you exclude the no-shows, it was elected by just 35.3% of those who voted.
