MP Mike O’Brien does not believe in anything apparently.

The official list of Early Day Motions is as effective a method as exists of finding out what type of person your MP is if you do not know them, and how many of us do?

I looked up Bill Olner who is my local MP and also Mike O’Brien from the neighbouring constituency of North Warwickshire.  As I am in the Nuneaton, Bedworth and North Warwickshire group of the British National Party I was interested.

An explanation from the homepage of the Early Day Motions website:

Early day motions (EDMs) are formal motions submitted for debate in the House of Commons. However, very few EDMs are actually debated. Instead, they are used for reasons such as publicising the views of individual MPs, drawing attention to specific events or campaigns, and demonstrating the extent of parliamentary support for a particular cause or point of view.

Here is the page dedicated to North Warwickshire MP Mike O’Brien with ‘0’ registered EDM’s and just for comparison purposes the page of MP Bill Olner with a mere 31 EDM’s.
