Shall we create an "adopt a politician" site?  I'm blatently stealing the
idea from STAND, but the idea here is more to get hard details on
adopter/adoptee exchanges of information, so we can find out what does and
doesn't work, as well as know the opinions of various politicians.  Start
with MPs and then try for council, union and association leaders and other
likely future MPs.  (Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that council leaders will
be trying for selection... political types, educate me now.)
