Don’t blame voting system for losses

MINORITY political parties, which do not put in the effort to develop a power base, nor win elections, always act like colloquial “losers” and project their insecurities on to the electoral system (Feedback, May 14).

Disenfranchisement with the electoral system has worsened since the 1990s, with an expansion of the quango state and millions of pounds wasted on lifestyle choices for inexperienced interns via police and crime commissioners and mayors.

There has been no referendum, the majority of the electorate opt for “none of the above”, and yet Mr

John Prescott’s referendum on a regional assembly was overwhelmingly rejected.

Stop acting like colloquial moaning minnies, support your chosen political party, and make at least some effort.

Stop projecting your insecurities, stop blaming the political vote for your own inadequacies.
