Campaign tip of the week

I had a meeting with a senior parliamentary researcher on Thursday. We were discussing the best way for campaign groups (or non-constituents) to attract the attention of MPs and I mentioned that Forest was planning to send a Save Our Pubs and Clubs video on disk to every MP.

"Hmmm," he said. "Most MPs will probably throw a disk in the bin without watching it. On the other hand, if you put the video on a memory stick there is a much better chance that they will watch it, erase it, and keep the memory stick for their own use."

Who says MPs aren't careful with their expenses?!

Yes, that IS a problem with the one-man DVD campaign.

Unless you invite the MP in question to COMMENT on the contents, of course.

At least then he'd have to THINK for (say) two microseconds before chucking it in the waste bin.............

Yes, put it on a memory stick.
