SIR – I think Nick Clegg is clutching at straws if he believes his party and Labour could form a new coalition government.

To be fair, the Lib-Dems and UKIP parties have had their 15 minutes of fame but little glory.

I think at the next general election, the electorate will opt for the two main party system again.

The Tory and Labour parties are our best bet for the future and I think neither of them will have a landslide victory, but as long as either get a workable majority, our country will be in safe hands.
