THE forthcoming General Election highlights one unsatisfactory aspect of our system of voting.

This country boasts the most untrustworthy Prime Minister in living memory, surrounded by a similar group of no-hopers. Conversely, Morecambe boasts the best MP this area had has since I came to live here in 1976.

My problem is, of course, how to help return lateral thinker and hard worker Geraldine Smith MP while hoping to dispatch El Presidente and his Junta to oblivion. What a dilemma.

I've got it - Geraldine must defect. I believe she has considered doing so before, so now is the time.

P Barnes, Morecambe.
