SIR – Not long now to General Election day! We are going to have to endure a lot of rhetoric from all the participants, but as I see it David Cameron and Nigel Farage are clutching at straws if they think the public want them as leaders of our country.

I think it is time for Ed Miliband to take us to happier times. The guy has all the credentials to be a great Prime Minister.
