What a glorious website. It's a really marvelous way to be able to annoy the living shite out of your MP. Or more importantly, get your opinion on certain matters expressed to a person who's in a position to make the difference.
I've just sent one in about council tax. I've always thought that the 'shared household, joint liability' way of dealing with council tax was something of a bugger. Now I appreciate that from the point of view of the council, they're just after the money to pay for services, as painlessly as possible.
And that sometimes the most effective way of doing this is by crucifying several people in the hopes that one will crack and cough up.
I just don't like the fact that I stand to end up with a choice of magicing up around 700 quid, or going to court, because a housemate has proven recalictrant about paying their share of the council tax bill.
So I thought I'd whinge at my MP about it. Great.
