its been often admitted both by the politicos in westminster and brussels that the mag and fem lobbying is the most effective and well informed of all the many political lobbyists. problem these days is that politics is just so toxic as a mere word, that anything which has even a remote connection to anything political tends to be passed over with the same contempt as the current political parties. so some mp's are rogues, therefore, not only are all mp's seen as scum, but all workers for the govt in westminster, anyone who has any contact with them or who provides them with even the smallest service, is instantly tarred with the same brush. mag has had its problems, and there are always those who will slate mag over the helmet issue, and i cant see why? ok they didnt win over helmets, but refuse to back down on their founding principles, and if they did, the same folk who slated them for not winning the helmet fight would then slate them for not sticking to their guns. but if after all this time you think that mag is all about helmets and nothing else, then we really are talking to a brick wall. mag membership makes financial sense regardless of the political lobbying. you could not write a single email, post a letter or attend a single rally or demo, but still make financial savings on a range of things smply by joining mag. im not eulogising, but if you have a reason to not support the things mag has done, at least learn what it is that mag does.
