Another great link that I found via NTK. NTK pointed me towards My Society and that took me to They Work For You.
Just type in your postcode and find out how much your MP’s actually been doing for the whacking great salary they pay themselves (not including their immense expense accounts). So, what’s Bob Laxton been up to? This:

Asked 35 written questions in the last year — 277th out of 659 MPs.

Hmmm… pretty good on replying to faxes but missed a quarter of the votes. Why? Couldn’t be arsed?
Never rebels against New Labour… oh dear. Is that loyalty to a leader who’s a war criminal based upon stupidity or evil?
Why not check up on your MP and see how they’ve been representing you. If you think they’re shirking… well, let them know at the next election.
