Shotgun Mike Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Last Monday I emailed my local MP Sir Alan Hazelhurst to ask for his support on the 15th. I half expected a lengthly but clear yes or no answer but as you have all guessed that wasn't to be the case. :yp: Dear Sir, Thank you for your email of the 13th September about hunting. You will know, of course, by now that the Bill has been re-introduced and that it once again obtained a huge majority in the House of Commons. The deal to delay implementation of the Bill is a behind the scenes deal, cynically contrived by the Prime Minister to try to avoid the Government being caused trouble on this subject ahead of the next General Election. It remains to be seen whether the House of Lords will approve the Ammendment carried out by the House of Commons. Any one been sent similar replies? P.S. It took a week for the reply to reach me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quercus Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Mike Well done for contacting your MP :yp: I expect the reason he failed to give you a positive yes or no answer is that he did not vote at all, as far as I can see. How did your MP vote I would contact him again to find out why he was not in the Commons on the 15th and exactly where his sympathies lie on this issue. Make it very clear to him that you will not be voting for him in the future if he doesn't support peoples right to hunt. Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Thank god! Good old John (gummer) voted against it. Not surprising really, there are too many people that support him that do that sort of thing... Wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 More Labour MP's opposed it than I thought would: Labour MPs opposing the hunting ban Hilary Armstrong (Durham North West) Margaret Beckett (Derby South) David Blunkett (Sheffield Brightside) Nick Brown (Newcastle upon Tyne East & Wallsend) Robin Cook (Livingston) Mark Fisher (Stoke-on-Trent Central) Kate Hoey (Vauxhall) Huw Irranca-Davies (Ogmore) Tommy McAvoy (Glasgow Rutherglen) Alun Michael (Cardiff South & Penarth) Austin Mitchell (Great Grimsby) Dr Tony Wright (Cannock Chase) I only knew of Kate Hoey who would oppose it, I'm going to write emails to the ones who opposed it saying thanks. It doesn't need to be long guys, but let's say 1 in 10 of the members (100) did it, it would make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remytherussell Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I emailed our MP, James Arbuthnot. He replied that he had indeed voted against the bill. I have thanked him. RTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Good job guys, just seen this website it's from the LACS, notice they only have hunting stuff on their website, they're trying to divide and rule we have to stick together if we can get through this. http://www.bloodybusiness.com/news/commerc...ting/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
