gollark: No.
gollark: Also, I'm not old enough.
gollark: Our electoral system is awful (first past the post) so this would not do much.
gollark: To this day, the government continues to do the thing.
gollark: I once had an issue with the government here doing a thing, so I contacted my local politician to complain about them doing the thing, by email. About a week later, I got back, *by letter*, a response from some other politician which was tangentially related to the thing but did not address any of my concerns.
