Coun James Alexander, Labour prospective Parliamentary candidate for York Outer, is a young rising star from the University of York.
In answer to his letter, pointing out where the Tories are going wrong. I would like to know the following.
Political parties are a mixture of good and bad. None are all bad and Labour may, or may not, be the best of two in a failed system which has little in it for most people, and is life or death for the Labour and Tory Parties and their monopoly of power since the 1940s war.
I know Coun Alexander is against proportional representation, full stop, like the Conservatives. He said so to me in these pages. He is certainly against going the whole way with single transferable votes to benefit all, put forward by the Lib Dems.
Will he be supporting Gordon’s offer of his tiny forced step in that direction with alternative votes, take it or leave it?
These two options mirror the Labour and Tory positions.
Why does Gordon not also give voters the Lib Dem option too? It would only be fair.
George Appleby, Clifton, York.
