Willow Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 My ES turns 18 tomorrow I'm not ready for him to leave home yet, even though he is He got a birthday card from our local MP this morning and I wondered if that was standard for MPs when you reach voting age ? or just something our local MP does ?

Purplemaniacs Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Maybe they have to have an affiliation with the party? No he has no affiliation with any party nor do we. We didn't either, we assumed they look at the electoral role and see who is coming up to vote in a forthcoming election. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I got a letter from Boris when I turned 18! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I remember getting one when I turned 18. Our MP, where we lived at the time, was from a party I didn't support and I was rather cross. So I burnt it along with some photographs of my boyfriend of 2 years who'd recently dumped me! It was hugely cathartic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
