The moral is:

Find a great local example of the flawed national politics is affecting your area(e.g school class sizes on the rise, hospital/ ward closures, cuts to council services).

Generally they will either back down (hurrah) or the local Labour party will reap the benefits come an election (in some cases both!!)
