>Dear Tony,

>More than 1,500 of us have emailed our MPs to

>created - thank you very much! This has led to a 
>very encouraging dialogue with some MPs... and brush-offs from others.

>We have had a variety of responses. Many MPs 
>have come back with original and personal 
>responses – but we are also beginning to spot some trends:

>Conservative MPs often respond saying they are 
>aware there is a backbench debate coming up and 
>acknowledging this is an important issue.

>The conservative MP Steve Baker is leading the 
>application for a backbench debate about money creation and society.
>
>The Lib Dem response goes a bit further, 
>describing how money is created and agreeing 
>this is a problem that needs public education.
>
>Labour MPs have sent a variety of replies, in 
>general they agree we need a banking system that 
>works for the whole of society.
>
>Monetary reform is already Green Party policy. 
>The Green MP, Caroline Lucas, has recorded a 
>video on this issue for Positive Money’s annual conference.

>A full report about MP responses will appear on our blog soon.

>There are still over 16,000 of us who have yet
