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.
