Oh yeah, last campaign of the kind worked great. Members of Parliament really appreciated to have their mailbox (and their voicemail) mail-bombed by hundreds or thousands of such spam and reacted super well.

No, in fact, no matter which side and party they belonged to, it really pissed them off and turned them against what the spam advocated for. Many thought it was orchestrated by some GAFAM.

You're not wrong. I remember seeing a couple of MPs lamenting the barrage of messages they received.

On the other hand, if you're an elected representative you better listen to your constituents. They are there to represent the people, not to decide in their place. Or, at least, that's the idea.

If being a public servant is so agonizing, there is a simple solution for them, most European countries offer livable welfare, you don't need to be a MEP if the job isn't for you. We literally have lists of people willing to do their job, it's called an election and it's coming next year. So this can and will be fixed very soon, so don't fret about spam, just stay home.
