This page contains links to various political things I have written. Mostly these are letters to my MP, published here on the basis that if I believe strongly in transparency, I might as well start at home.
I am politically left-of-centre and am particularly passionate about technological issues, personal rights and freedoms, and transparent government. I have too little free time at the moment to pursue any actual involvement with politics, so I’m mostly restricted to bothering my MP about issues that particularly matter to me.
