MP Accountability Network briefing
Tuesday 22 June, 6pm - 8pm
Quaker Meeting House, 7 Victoria Terrace, Edinburgh EH1
2JL
Join our network of churches and groups working to hold
our local MPs accountable!
One of the keys to restoring faith in democracy is ensuring that
the MPs we elected at the General Election are held to account for
what they do on our behalf in Parliament. Churches can play a
key role in this task. Many already organise parliamentary
'hustings' with candidates during the Election campaign: But
holding MPs to account is not something to be done only once every
five years!
Democratic accountability will be hugely strengthened if groups
across the country are willing to hold our MPs to account on a
regular and on-going basis. By working together, we can ensure that
issues we care passionately about are firmly the political
agenda.
You are invited to attend a briefing session in Edinburgh, to
find out more about the Network, and what you can do to build an
effective and lasting accountability relationship with your MP.
You are more than welcome to invite other people to come along
as well - just let us know how many people you want to bring along!
