gollark: Yes. Democracy in action.
gollark: I complained to my MP when the government did some particularly egregious thing... complaining about end to end encryption on the news again, or something... and got a response back... from some random minister... by letter... two weeks later... which did not address anything I said and was related only in that my email and their response were both vaguely about encryption.
gollark: Er, act. Not bill.
gollark: *cough*investigatorypowersbill*cough*
