I AM writing with regards to the front page article of the Citizen (November 21).

If I were in the Tories' shoes I wouldn't like to see a story printed about children not being allowed to go to a Christmas party, owing to the death of their grandfather before he could put their names on the list.

I would say the article is not an eye-catching vote-winner (when they need them most).

But don't worry, Mrs Jones, they will probably be like their leaders and do a U-turn.

Now that you have exposed them for what they are, your children will most likely end up going to a party.
