How impressive is it to get 35 out of the 650 MPs to sign a statement like the above? I genuinely don’t know, but I think it’s probably not very impressive.
What’s the denominator, so we can estimate MP signatures per unit effort? Is this an approach that could get 350 of the 650 to sign the statement, if funding and team size was increased by 10x? That would be a majority of the MPs, maybe that means something in the UK?
I didn’t read the OP as claiming that their organization was impressive. Simply that the most straightforward approach to advocacy seemed to be working, and people had spent a lot of time thinking of clever arguments for why it wouldn’t work, or assuming it wouldn’t work because everyone else assumed it wouldn’t work, instead of just trying it.
