After writing to Malcolm Wicks MP with my concern over Government policy in April I received a postcard acknowledging receipt of my letter, and then nothing more.

I wrote to him again in June asking why I had received no further response.

I haven't even received an acknowledgement to that letter.

New Labour got, in their own words, a good kicking in June's elections precisely because they ignored the views of the electorate. Despite this, Mr Wicks obviously still can't find the time for constituents who question his Government's policies.

It's this kind of arrogance that will result in an even harder kicking at the next general election.

You are here to serve us Mr Wicks, not the other way round.
