Quoting from Alan Lord

"Please also note that as of next week WritetoThem will not really work
until after the election as Parliament, and hence MPs, are dissolved.
Only Cabinet Ministers remain AIUI."

This gave me the (worryingly rather pleasant) mental image of MP's literally being dissolved in a large swimming pool of quicklime.

I'm glad to see my home constituency MP (Paul Burstow Lib Dem) and my work consituency MP (Ed Davey Lib Dem) both voted no. I have removed them from the mental quicklime swimming pool!
