As the title reads...
Im about to send a letter to my local MLA's after I have discovered they have to reply to me and answer my questions.
WHat would you suggest to ask about?
Peak oil related
And include information
May be able to scare some of them into action
Think I would want to probe them on what plans they have for a short term disruption to oil supply
Food supply
Mass transit system
Any other thoughts?
WHat questions would you ask your local politician?

Pardon my ignorance, but what's an MLA? Is it the Welsh equivalent of an MSP, or are you in Northern Ireland?
I'd probably kick off by asking them if they were aware of the Energy Watch Group report about PO and its implications, and if they weren't I'd offer them a quick bullet-point-type summary.
Then perhaps get a mate to follow it up after a couple of weeks...

Sorry an MLA would be the equivalent of what sits in the Welsh assembly i'd imagine
More powerful than councillors but below MPs.
Less power than a Scottish MP too id say.
However my Union in work has said to bombard MLAs with complaints over the pay deal settlement we are receiving and it seems to have worked and now I wonder could something similar work with Peak Oil
However I will be up against the Sammy (I dont believe in Global Warming) Wilson - our Environment Minister, and his party the DUP the largest in Northern Ireland.
