THE Prime Minister and Labour politicians stress that the 'big conversation' is a genuine means of communication but it does appear that, so far, it excludes conversation with many whose opinion differ from those politicians. All members of the government appear to be suffering (temporary?) amnesia since it is rarely if ever mentioned that anyone with access to the internet can communicate with the Prime Minister on a wide range of subjects.
The Prime Minister should not be denied our opinions simply because someone has overlooked publicising the following means of communication to be found on the Downing Street web site.
As an example, there are many like me that consider a referendum on the EU Constitution essential who can;
1. Visit the 'E-mail the Prime Minister' page on the 10 Downing Street web site. This is at http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page821.asp">http://www.number-10.gov.uk/output/Page821.asp
2. Choose 'International Affairs' from the extensive list at the bottom of the page. Click 'GO'.
3. On the next page just fill in your name, e-mail address and your demand for a referendum on the EU Constitution.
When you're done, click 'SUBMIT'.
And that's it.
Opinions on many more subjects can similarly be forwarded to the Prime Minister. The Downing Street web site does make it clear that answers cannot be obtained by the means of email communication of available but at least the opportunity to let the PM know what you think should be taken.
