It's called a constituency. It's the body of people that vote candidates into office and pressure from this electorate often curries influence with a representative as a result, especially if the issue at hand has to do with public safety, of all things.
One thing's for sure, though.
If you don't write messages or join activist group(s) that will present your message to government, then you're basically screaming at a wall.
Why do political parties subcontract out survey companies to call their constituency? They do it to see what they can get away with and what they probably can't get away with. Don't give into apathy like you've been programmed. Your votes and concerns do matter.
