Patriots: Why wait for politicians? Why not just descend on Parliament (after politely asking permission, obviously)

You know, as members of the public who love our country, we sit around and we whinge and moan about the undemocratic nature of the European Empire. We whinge and moan, saying that we want our country back.

We wait for the Conservative Party backbenchers (who, apart from the noble Douglas Carswell and one or two others, you're mostly having a larf).

You ain't going to get anything from Labour or the LibDumDums.

So, what are we waiting for?

An EU-sceptic Conservative voter? A UKIP voter? Backer of one of the other patriotic parties?

Well, why do we not do what we are meant to do... descend on Parliament?

The lesbian and gay community did it in 1994.

What are we scared of that the lesbian and gay community were not?

It's all legal.

You turn up at the Houses of Parliament and lobby your MP.

From the Parliament website:

"Lobbying is the practice of individuals and organisations trying to influence the opinions of MPs and Lords. Methods of lobbying vary and can range from sending letters, making presentations, providing briefing material to Members and organised rallies.

Anyone can lobby an MP or Lord. Examples are:

* individual members of the public
* groups of constituents
* local businesses
* organised pressure groups/campaigners
* commercial organisations

Does lobbying get results?

MPs and Lords are the target of many different lobbying interests. Often the result these lobbyists are seeking is for the MP or Lord to vote a certain way on a specific issue. However, this decision will ultimately be down to the MP or Lord's own judgement and the influence (if any) that existing party policy will have on them.

Mass lobbies

Organisers of mass lobbies should contact the following offices as soon as possible:

* Serjeant at Arms' Office (020 7219 3050)
* Police Operations, Palace of Westminster (020 7219 6882)
* Operations and Events Office, Charing Cross Police Station (020 7321 7524)

Staff will be able to give further details of how to organise a mass lobby successfully around the daily business of Parliament.

Okay, we've put the idea there. We do not get enough visitors to pull it off. We're only on a couple of hundred a day. Some blogs, however, get far more than that.

And how many visitors does the combined traffic of the Conservative Home and Official UKIP website generate?

Stop talking, start doing.

Most of us, as smaller, independent blogs, would back it to the hilt.

I'd go a step further. I'd plan it every month.

Make it bigger and bigger and more widely known each time. Turn up every month, a million people lobbying their MP to get us our country back from the European Empire.

We talk about how powerless we are.

No we're not.

We don't need a Cameron or a Clegg or a Milipede or even a Hannan to help us.

We can do it ourselves.

And Parliament are even offering to help facilitate mass lobbying campaigns.

Here it is again:

So, there's the suggestion. Who'll be the blog with sufficient traffic to spearhead the thing..?

Or maybe we could see one of those very vocal MPs or retired politicians spearheading? Carswell? Tebbit?

Anyway, we should stop waiting... and go to Parliament and TELL them what we want them to do.

They are OUR public SERVANTS - not the other way around.
