Is your MP seen in your local community

Mine seems to be keeping his Tory head down as he's subject to complaints.

My Lib Dem MP is seen and heard frequently.

Never seen mine. Wouldn't know what he looked like either.

Lives here, children go to local schools, is seen regularly andhas quite influential role in Parliament as well.

No never seen him

Yes, and it's rural - but his visits aren't always well-publicised.

No sign of our MP, but our MSP lives locally and has a vry visible presence.

A piece of useless info: I went to school with his mother and she was a teaching colleague!

Ours is often seen. As are lots of local ones.

Our MP ,who lives locally, had his home pelted with eggs a couple of years ago because of an unpopular education edict.

But then he was Gavin Williamson.

No, apart from when the local press takes photos. She doesn't live here and doesn't even have a local "surgery".

We’ve moved and I don’t even know who my MP is.

Ours is both seen locally and on occasion joining in the debates in Parliament. We have an issue of a quarry planned to be dug very close to our rural village and he has been extremely supportive to us and has raised the issue in Parliament and joined the protests. I didn't vote for him but I have no complaints as to the job he's doing.

Ours was Liz Truss enough said

Not sure about my current MP (the only Labour MP in Scotland) but my previous SNP MP in Glasgow worked half the week in London, flying down on Sunday evening and returning on Wednesday evening unless she has extra business down there. She has a young family, well, not so young now the two girls are teenagers (they attend the Glasgow Gaelic-medium high school), but both girls are gymnasts and I know she spends quite a bit of the weekend ferrying them around competitions. She has strong links with Barra in the Western Isles and the family tends to spend the parliamentary breaks up there.

A lot of mostly younger people in her constituency know her as their well-liked former physics teacher before she accidentally got swept up into Parliament in the 2015 SNP landslide. I'm not sure she's seen a lot in the street in her constituency but she is known as a hard-worker.

Our MP is very active and hard working, sends out a weekly newsletter with all her doings, where she’ll be and when, asking us for our views and for our participation.
She holds a regular ‘pint and policy’ get together so that she can listen to us, her constituents.
She has just started a ‘knock and drop’, where locals are kept up to date with what’s occurring.
I admit I was dismayed when she was flown in from London for the 2019 election to our very Welsh area and surprised when she won the seat. She moved here, is learning the language and has proved to be an amazing MP.

Ours is quite often seen at local events and holds regular surgeries. He was very helpful and quick to respond when we emailed him with a concern.

Mine is Labour, and has a 23,000 majority so why should he be bothered? When we had a local newspaper I saw his face on the front of it. He certainly does not go out and about. Me, I and myself springs to mind.

Only when there’s Champagne.

Red wall seat, Tory with 4000 majority. He’s visible in the community and active on Facebook. I won’t vote for him but can’t deny he’s working hard

Mine is Conservative and has a majority of 27,594. The only reason I know she actually exists is because I sometimes see her on TV. When she was selected, she promised the local Conservatives she would move to the area ... ahem!

If only Matt Hancock was our MP. We could have seen him every day for the past 2 weeks.

If only Matt Hancock was our MP. We could have seen him every day for the past 2 weeks.

He's (still) the MP for a neighbouring constituency. Apparently, he used to be around quite a lot - in pubs and at horsey events. I know people who think he's very sociable - bit like he appears on TV.

I used to, it was David Amess.
His successor is a different kettle of fish.

We saw our MP sitting with a coffee outside a cafe here recently. Very active in our Constituency. He lives locally. He is Conservative and has a Cabinet post.
