On the 27th May 2011 local residents and some of the 38 Degrees team presented the results of the online petition to Lynne Featherstone, MP for Hornsey and Wood Green. Over 417000 people, nationally, signed the petition which told MPs:
Don't break up our health service and hand it to private healthcare companies
Listen to the real experts - doctors, nurses and patients - when they give warnings about these plans
Don't rush through massive changes without testing them properly first
Protect patient care - don't cut beds, wards, doctors or nurses

Wow, is this what 38 Degrees is up to nowadays; randomly catching MPs on the street.
Interesting part for me was when Lynne asked whether the signatures were from her constituency and got told they are form "the internet". To my knowledge Lynne does not represent the internet, but Hornsey & Wood Green in North London.
Sorry but this video is somewhat of a fail; Might have been effective if you’d got signatures solely from Lynne’s consistency.

It would be nice if you didn't cut away at parts before Lynne was about to reply to certain points

More please. MPs must be made aware of what their actions will cause. There are too many of them who really don't care. Just one minor point. Featherstone is a minister which means that she HAS to vote for the Tory government. Personally she has the dilemma of resigning as a minister or supporting her constituents.
