I recently petitioned my Member of the Legeslative Assembly on a non PD related matter. I am well aware that she does not share my views on the matter and will not vote my way - but she still wants my vote come election time, as witnessed by the beautifully ambiguous standard letter she replied with. It read: " Thank you for your letter expressing your views on ___________. I appreciate you taking the time to write to me. When Parliament resumes your views will be reflected in the debate. With kind regards etc etc." Now isn't that a lovely bit of political double speak?
