A letter to a politician

Jacqui Dean MP for Waitaki got a letter from me today.  It seems politicians in New Zealand don’t think much of the voters here.

Hello

To say I’m pissy would be an understatement.  YOUR office made a phone appointment for you to phone me because you were unavailable on the day. That’s fine, I accepted that.
I went out of my way to be somewhere with both reception and time to take said phone call.
But YOU didn’t bother to call, and you didn’t bother to get your office to contact me either.
Now myself, I have thing’s to do too.   Yet you seem to think it’s acceptable to be a no show yourself.  Well I hate to tell you this sweetie, but you are a public servant. SERVANT. Nothing else.  You are voted in to serve, and a part of that is talking to voters.
If you or your office make an appointment, then you are obligated to be there for that appointment.
As I see it, you have a few options open to you seeing as it seems you’re to busy to do your job.
1: Quit, as it seems it’s to much for you.
2: Realise you are a servant and start serving.
3: Ask for your area to be reduced so you have some chance of doing your job.
Now I would also like to know where to send the invoice for wasting my time, because time is money, as you know….
