The same can be said about many nations. We should all contact our representatives regardless. However, the last time I did this, one of my supposed reps sent me a condescending form letter in response. She wasn't even gracious enough to lie to me and say she valued feedback from her constituents. It came across more like she knew better than I did and that's why she was voting against the interests of the people.
It was the people. They both elected Blair then re-elected him after he started the war. The same happened with Bush in the US. It was unambiguously the American people who wanted it. Maybe not a majority but enough to make their electoral system pick him.
