The Parliamentary Motorcycle Group had booked a two hour slot in the Boothroyd Room at Portcullis House and there was much coming and going as MP’s came to meet their constituents who had made appointments to meet with them.

Various MP’s also dropped in and spoke to the meeting, including: Stephen Pound MP, Steven Baker MP, Sarah Newton MP and Anne Main MP (St Albans) who sponsored the event. Members of the House re-iterated the importance of us getting our message out to all politicians whether at a local or national level and applauded the work of Riders Are Voters.

Riders attended from as far away as Cornwall and Edinburgh and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everybody who made the effort to come along and meet with their MP’s.

Question Time Events – Meet & Question Your MP

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:25:30 +0000

Riders Are Voters (RAV) are organising Question Time events across the country so that riders can have a chance to ask questions of their Parlaimentary Candidates.

These events are being held in dealer showrooms, so that the politicians have to come to us and meet us in our world!

If one of these events are close to you, please come along and meet the politicians who are asking for your votes.

Find out what they want to do about the potholes, or the way that the DSA is making it nearly impossible for youngsters to get a bike licence.

Ask them whether they support the fitting of non-slip manhole covers, or the provision of secure free parking. What about their attitudes to car driver training, wearing compulsory hi-viz or power limits for bikes?

How do they feel about the bike industry and everyone who works in it?

This is your chance to ask them.

The press are going to be there to listen.

Events Still To Come:

All Question time events have now been held
