It's a pity Have I got News for You isn't on at the moment, I think this would have made it on there...

Frankly I'm at a loss for words at the response you received, as it's clear to me that you could word a letter to the equivalent affect with much more polite terms. The thing is I can see how your own letter could possibly be construed as a personal attack, since you are blunt and to the point and question the man's integrity directly in more than one paragraph. I can't help but feel that he may have decided that replying to what he decided was abuse was a better idea than answering the hard questions, but even then, as I just said, you could do that much more politely. It shows that he doesn't care, which is disheartening really - it's his job.

In addition I find the mindset of "we have the majority vote so we can do what we like because they support everything we said we'd do" to be dangerous (complacent implementation of silly laws), irrational (not all MP's fully agree with all their party’s' policies so why would their supporters be any different) and plain stupid (you will always have people who vote for the other guys, and like it or not, they are just as important). Then of course there's the normal pitfall of democracy: Just because a majority thinks that something is good or right does not mean that it is good or right.
