It's easy to check at http://edm.ais.co.uk/weblink/html/motion.html/ref=266 On Tuesday it was 89 MPs. Today it shows 129. At least one of these helped along by a member of this list. Though I gather than one needs 200 or so before anyone takes serious notice. But NIACE is to be congratulated for getting this much attention at least.
