Make MPs write accountability letters

[WeWantAnswers]

Not a cure-all, I know, but if MPs had to write (let's say weekly) open letters to their constituents explaining fairly briefly how they feel they have worked to represent them that week, that would encourage the scrutiny of the local press and boost accountability. Who knows, they might even start doing a better job!

Is it possible or am I dreaming?

Round here the local paper carries a weekly propaganda column from the local tory MPs.
That's bad enough.

never mind writing letters, they should be in parliament (or at least demonstrably doing parliamentary work from home during the current pandemic) seven days a week Demand a seven day parliament

Fair play, they would just use it for propaganda wouldn't they. I have too much faith in humanity sometimes...

Direct democracy's a joke

Dreaming.

The spin doctors at central office would write the letters for most of them.

Most mps already use twitter. Can't say that has made any difference.
