Any decent MP has to do a number of things as part of his job, apart from being the Member of Parliament for a particular part of the UK and the most important job is representing the constituents of a town or area of a town or city. FOR LET US NOT FORGET, IT IS THEY WHO HAVE ENABLED HIM OR HER TO LAND A NICE CUSHY WELL PAID JOB, WHICH CAN ALSO LEAD TO ENTRY INTO EVEN MORE CUSHY AND WELL PAID JOBS ONE CAN WHEEDLE THEIR WAY INTO THANKS TO BEING AN MP !! The best example of that is Tony Blair !!
The constituents of an MP should be looked after in a number of ways. For instance if any constituent
was experiencing serious problems with any government department, there is no better person for being able to go directly to the department and ask questions of them. Like; "why are you treating my constituent badly because they have had to come into contact with you over some problems they have" ?
The department will have a Minister who is in charge of it, so I your MP should go to that Minister and have him take up the problem/complaint. Then if eventually that Minister did nothing, an MP can always stand up in Parliament and tell the house that a constituent has been treated badly by the department and then describe what that is and then push for action to rectify this. This should then concentrate the minds of all those concerned who are making the life of that constituent, a misery. This is based on the fact that no one wants to be shown up for treating the public badly and maybe even unlawfully. I have seen good MP's do this, but in Tobias Ellwood's case I don't remember ever seeing him talking on behalf of a constituents in any session of Parliament and exposing a problem they are experiencing. Only waffling on about Syria, or something to do with the Middle East or Military matters is his wont. For no doubt he thinks by talking on whatever, that will make him look so good and that eventually, he will be rewarded by the PM with a shove up the greasy pole.
Another responsibility of any MP, is to the area he is supposed to represent and in this case that area
is East Bournemouth, but what goes on in the whole area of Christchurch/Bournemouth and Poole
should also be of interest to Tobias Ellwood. However in the time that he has allegedly represented E.Bournemouth it has been blindingly obvious that he really doesn't give a fig for that area or the wider surrounding area. For since 2005 he hardly is ever in the news talking to us about whatever
the problem or subject matter is that he is trying to make better and for us and the general area.
