"Sir,
"I am enjoying the coverage of the Liberal Democrats you have this morning but probably not the reasons you would hope for.
"I've been a Liberal Democrat from about 1990 and have been pressing for changing the system for years because although Britain is in many ways a great country, we could be greater still. Successive Conservative and Labour governments have failed, yes, failed, to bring this about. And all your paper seeks to do is keep the status-quo.
"I'm sorry if it makes you and some of your readership uncomfortable, but clearly a growing number of your fellow citizens feel that enough is enough. The old parties have had more than a fair chance to fix things and the results are all around us.
It is time for new leadership, new ideas. It is time for the Liberal Democrats."
So far, my comments rating is -30. I don't expect it to rise any time soon.
