SIR – Max Hey (Letters, December 26) may find widespread disenchantment with politicians of all parties and with Westminster when visiting Leeds and North Yorkshire.
Although he will not be the only one appalled by the announced pay increase for our Members of Parliament, with all the many systems of government throughout the world, good or bad, it is still Westminster that is known as ‘the mother of all parliaments’, which we, the most sophisticated electorate in the world, I have read, are allowed to be frustrated with or not.
