This letter received in response really doesn't mean anything, it's just a generic "thank you for contacting us" letter. You'll (usually, 99 times out of 100) get a similar equivilent if you ever contact your MP, although in those cases it will generally be even less involved in the subject, along the lines of "Dear name, I agree that this matter is important and that is why I support this matter, yours, MP"
It shouldn't be taken as an indication of how well the government is handling this issue, just that it was treated as "yet another thing for someone unimportant to reply to". (That's not to say that they are treating it well... just that it can't be judged from this letter.)
- TheCapn 15y agoYou make a good point. Everyone feels that their voice should be heard but forget that the government represents a lot of people. If they personally responded to each letter that was received then I'd gamble they'd be doing their job much much worse than they potentially already are. A response from them at all means that someone took enough time to count your statistic for/against such a topic. That's a stronger position then yelling at the TV hoping they'll hear you.
