I have just read what I believe to be the first letter in support of the Government's ID Card Bill (Mistaken on ID card responses, April 12).

I was not surprised to discover it was from Anne Snelgrove MP, the same MP who first claimed that she had not received any letters opposing the Bill (SA, November 19 2005) when, in fact, a number of her constituents had sent such letters (SA, November 26, 28 and 29, 2005).

The same MP who described a majority of 31 out of 600 MPs as "the will of parliament" (ID cards fight will continue, February 14). The same MP who accused David Davis MP of having "cloth ears," when he challenged the Government's attempt to re-define the word "voluntary" (Hansard, March 16).

Mrs Snelgrove needs to remember three-quarters of the South Swindon electorate did not vote for her or for Tony Blair.

When constituents such as G Reid (I can't get MP to answer me, April 10) and myself write to her opposing aspects of Government policy, it is not sufficient merely to respond, stating that she holds a different view to that constituent, but to continue voting on party lines regardless of her constituents' views.

If Ms Snelgrove wants to retain what little credibility she has left after only one year in office, she should stop parroting Labour party propaganda and spin and start representing her constituents' views in Parliament. After all, isn't that what democracy means?
