Digital Economy Bill - Page 5

Well it seems my local MP is on neither the Yes or No list, so I can only assume she didn't even bother to vote, and of the other 2 very close constituencies one voted yes and the other seemed to not bother either.

Lazy bunch of ****s

mine said 'Yes'.

Mine seems to have said nothing as well.

Hmm, my local Lib Dem MP was a 'no' vote. But he went down in my estimation after putting a leaflet in my post box telling me that 'Labour CAN'T win here' with a grpahic of last elections voting percentages.
Actually they CAN - it's just overwhelmingly unlikely that they won't.

The whole bill will be out of date by the time it becomes law, leaving us with a pile of legislation that can either be disregarded or is no longer fit for purpose.

Demonstrates the level of understanding that the people voting have.....

*smacks head on desk*

My MP didn't even turn up.
How about performance related pay for them? If they turn up to debates and the associated vote - they get paid.
If they don't - they get nothing!

I hope a correction was sent.

Here's the reply I got:

Thank you for contacting me with regard to the Digital Economy Bill. I have received a large amount of correspondence on this issue and am fully aware of the strength of feeling on both sides of this debate. As you may know the majority of this bill was passed by the House of Commons last night and has now been sent to the House of Lords for further scrutiny.

I have written to the Department for Business Innovation and Skills on this matter and on a number of individual concerns raised by constituents. The response I received can be viewed on my website via the link below.

Thank you for taking the time to raise this issue.

Regards and best wishes,

Tessa Jowell MP

No-show here too. Not sure if I got a reply to my inquiry (not got through all my post yet).

Debate on the letter posted by DL seems to be heading towards clerical error - it was likely typed up by an office assistant, who probably saw IP, decided it needed to be defined, decided the debate was about Intellectual Property, 2+2=5. :/

Still, small consolation in the death of Clause 43.
