Understanding that we have a democracy is the first step. Democracy does not happen on election day. Election day is merely the hiring process. Democracy is every day. That means that you need to be actively involved. It means shoving your face in your MP's day in, day out.
The reality is that It doesn't really matter what labour union (or lack thereof) your MP happens to belong to. They're all human at the end of the day, and humans respond to what's in front of them. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say. So make sure you are the squeakiest wheel.
Remember, they're just an employee. Hired by you! Like always, if an employee screws up, it's not their fault. It's the management's fault for not properly managing the employee. So make sure you're not a bad manager. Do your job and everything will run smoothly, always.
Hired by committee including a shit ton of people who actively try to regress us*
My MP is a Liberal and only pays attention to the party Whip.
Then be sure to whip harder. They being a member of a labour union does make your job harder, no question. That's kind of the whole reason why workers join labour unions. But you're still the boss and need to make that known.
This, right here, is the answer.
