Before your meeting, make sure you know your MP / MSP’s current position on oil and gas and climate. Here are some places you can take a look:
Briefing
Read through the Stop Rosebank **MP** and MSP briefings for talking point prompts. These briefings have been designed to be given to your MP/MSP at your meeting for them to keep.
You can print the briefing at home, or if you would like us to print and post to you, then please fill in this form. The briefings include a cut out and keep Stop Rosebank pledge card for them to sign in the meeting if the want to.
Talking points
Prepare talking points so you know what you’ll ask your MP / MSP to do. Our top advice is to appeal to the common ground and values you share with them, stick to a few key facts, and suggest some concrete actions you would like them to take.
Even if your MP / MSP has not been supportive in the past, showing up and sharing your concerns shifts the debate from abstract policy to real concerns affecting their voters.
