Lobby FAQs

Q. The lobby has been well-advertised among homeopaths, but are the general public coming?

A. The newsletter goes to people who signed the declaration, homeopaths, patients, and other practitioners. It won't just be homeopaths!

Q. Will it be a noisy demonstration? 
A. It is not a demonstration, but a lobby. We willl carry placards and banners, but we are there to see our MPs. We will have plenty of stewards who will help organise the queue, but we expect that everyone will be goodhumoured and sympathetic to each other.

Q. What will happen if opponents of homeopathy try and disrupt our lobby?
A. They can't. It is our democratic right to lobby our MPs. if opponents try to stop us, the Houses of Parliament police will intervene.

Q. If I am from another country and haven't got the right to vote, can I still lobby my MP?
A. Yes, if you are a resident in his or her constituency.

Q. What do we 'extras' do?
A. No one is an extra. Everyone is there to lobby their MP. Every single person who turns up is important and is contributing to the continued provision of homeopathy.

Q. What do I say to my MP?
A. We have provided notes of key things to say. The previous Briefing Notes to give to your MP are also available.
