Global : Ideas : Bank - Fax your MP for free, and be directly involved in democracy

The number of people who actually have any direct contact with their constituency MP tends to be made up of lobbyists, pressure groups and those who can get time off work, but a new online innovation could change that for good. The website Fax Your MP.com uses a customised 'web to fax gateway' to enable you to fax your questions or concerns direct to your own MP. At the website, the process is a simple one: type in your postcode to discover the name of your MP, put in your own details and write your letter, and then simply click to send the fax.
