    Dear Mr Stupid,

    Ask not what your MP can do for you.

    Ask what you can do for your MP.

    Because it's your vote that will free her or him
    from any sense of moral obligation towards
    you or anyone else.

    We live in a democracy, and if you don't do your duty by casting your vote, then that democracy is dead. Ask yourself this:

    Do you REALLY want to live in a country where the people's elected representatives are forced to pay Capital Gains Tax?

    Where they must meet the cost of their own dinner parties?

    Where they must make do with only one home
    and not even a 42" LCD TV?

    And where they are unable to use taxpayers' money to keep themselves and their relatives in a style to which
    you yourself will never be accustomed?

    Of course you don't.

    So please.

    Be stupid.

    Exercise your vote.

    It's the only thing you've got and frankly, it's worth sod all to you so letting someone else put it to good use is the sensible, the patriotic, and the democratic thing to do.
    Best wishes:

    I've yet to receive an election message like this but if such ever came, the candour might be hard to resist. . .

    As to PROLIANT I suggest you do a little more research into Nick Griffin and the BNP before you brand yourself a fascist by voting for them.

    Like his conviction for racism?
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
