In the spirit of fair play, here is the full text of a reply I had to my letter to David Cameron. It took them just five minutes to reply, too!
Dear Duncan,
Thank you for your e-mail, following Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons this week.
I certainly take on board the points you make and will ensure that David is made aware if your concerns.
David is very disappointed that after weeks of spinning the Prime Minister has now decided not to call an election. In doing so he has deprived the British people of the chance to vote for the much needed change this country needs.
David also feels very strongly that the government should hold a referendum on the new EU Treaty after Tony Blair and Gordon Brown signed up to major shifts of power from Britain to the EU and major changes in the way the EU works.
It has been David's view for a long time that it is a pretty good principle that elected representatives should not give up the powers that they were elected to wield without asking the people who elected them first.
It is for these reasons why David criticised the Prime Minister in the House of Commons on Wednesday.
Please find below a link is to an article by David Cameron about Gordon Brown's decision not to call an election. In his article, David makes clear his thoughts on the events of the last few days. He also sets out how the Conservative Party will continue to fight for real change:

Thank you, once again, for taking the time and trouble to get in touch.
Yours sincerely,
