Voting Conservative is the only way to secure a general election result that delivers Brexit

sir – I joined the Brexit Party because of the duplicity of Theresa May and her Remainer supporters. Nigel Farage and his party have helped to keep the fight to leave the EU alive.

However, a split in the Leave vote – of the kind that happened in Brecon and Radnorshire – could have disastrous consequences.

For the good of the country, I will support the Conservative Party. Colvin Williams

sir – I have always respected Mr Farage. He has been one of the most significant politicians of recent times.

However, given that his party has no chance of delivering Brexit, it would be an act of political vandalism to split the Leave vote and risk a Labour government, with the likelihood that Jeremy Corbyn will be replaced by someone even more dangerous. Ron Butcher

Great Dunmow, Essex sir – Why shouldn’t the Brexit Party field as many candidates as possible, rather than dancing to the Tory tune?

It would surely bring the Tories to their senses and force them to take up Mr Farage’s offer to work with them. Carole Ann Taylor

Lymington, Hampshire

sir – Many people who claim to be Brexiteers see the election as offering a binary choice between Leave and Remain, and in this they are correct.

But many are tragically wrong in seeing the Tories as the Brexit option. Boris Johnson’s deal is not Brexit. There is no such thing as a Brexit deal.

Between 30 and 40 Brexit Party MPS would be enough to secure a Tory coalition for a genuine Brexit – and, even if Mr Corbyn did secure a narrow Labour majority, his government would soon collapse from infighting and impossible policies, offering perhaps even more opportunity for the Brexit Party in the next election. John Sheridan Smith

Southampton sir – Those who have vision are positive. Those without it are negative.

Jeremy Corbyn’s decision to fight the election negatively, with personal attacks and pledges to go after the wealthy, highlights the paucity of his understanding.

His dreams are likely, if realised, to be our nightmares. Alexander Hopkinson-woolley

Bembridge, Isle of Wight

sir – Predictably, Mr Corbyn is blaming Boris Johnson for Britain’s failure to leave the EU yesterday.

Of the many obstacles strewn in the Prime Minister’s path, it was arguably the Benn Act, supported by Labour, that landed the killer blow. Eddie Hooper

Gravesend, Kent

sir – Was I the only one smiling broadly while reading through the list of MPS who are no longer standing? Mark Solon

London E1 sir – Dr Peter Grey from Hurley (Letters, October 31) is a fellow voter in the Maidenhead constituency.

He complains that Theresa May will be the Conservative candidate, unless she is deselected. In fact, Mrs May was reselected last month, with minimal opposition. But at least she has supported getting Brexit done. If Dr Grey votes for any other candidate, he runs the real risk of Brexit being abolished. Tony Narula

Wargrave, Berkshire

sir – Now that we are to have an election, I look forward to the usual economic impact projections for the main parties’ policies, from the Bank of England, the Treasury, the IMF and the CBI. I suggest the usual format: plus or minus a number of percentage points of gross domestic product, delivered in such a way as to suggest that this is the sole factor on which citizens should base their decision.
