A thin veneer of democratic accountability

On 23rd of November, I used WriteToThem.com to contact my MEPs, expressing my concern about the data retention directive and asking them to take my concerns into account when voting (I was as reasonable and rant-free as I could manage; quite surprised myself, I did).

Anyhow. Today, a little over three weeks later, a fourth response has wended its way into my mailbox:

Graham WatsonLibDem2 Decemberpostagainst
Caroline JacksonConservative13 Decemberemailfor
Graham BoothUKIP-- no reply --against
Giles ChichesterConservative-- no reply --against
Glyn FordLabour-- no reply --for

Apropos nothing, really. I'll update this post if any of the other three condescend to acknowledge my communication in the future.
