WHILE not wishing to interfere with the dialogue between Gary Webb and L Spiteri, I thought Gary Webb's letter, "Clearly out of touch with reality" explained why half of us didn't bother to vote in the last election.

Don't the anti-Europe candidates stand absolutely no chance, of winning a seat in our corrupt elections?

I wrote after our last election to say that it took 26,000 votes to elect each Labour MP; 44,000 votes to elect each Conservative MP; and 98,000 votes to elect each LibDem MP. Don't those figures explain why we the people say of politicians that "they are in it for themselves?"

Moreover, how can each member of the electorate have an equal say, in what power we cede, to which of our politicians, when the "say" of the Labour voters is four times greater, than the "say" of LibDem voters?

Some 60,000 more votes were caste for the Conservative party, than were cast for the Labour Party; yet Labour "won the election," with a so-called majority of 92 seats. Is that democracy?
