"FRUSTRATED First-Time Voter" (Your Letters, Mar 13) seems unusually cynical for one so young. One would have thought that someone of that age would get something done, instead of adopting such a negative attitude.
He/she accuses councillors of publicity-seeking and is very condescending about Lindsey Campbell, writing to defend her father. But if Councillor Campbell had responded himself I suppose he would have been accused of publicity-seeking?
Ms Campbell should be congratulated as she obviously sees at first-hand what councillors do for their constituents.
I wonder what political system "FFTV" would prefer? This young person should read up on the political systems in Communist Russia and Nazi Germany, and would then appreciate why the British system is admired and copied throughout the world.
Perhaps "FFTV" could also reflect on the quote of Sir Winston Churchill: "Democracy is a very bad form of government; the problem is that all the others are so much worse".
