SIR – The more I hear of our economic problems and the way our main parties can’t agree, the more I think that all voters who feel that they don’t want to vote should use that vote for UKIP candidates.

The EU takes so much money every year and only hands back to us small (comparatively) amounts for enterprises they agree with. We would be far better off out, so that we can handle our own finances and use the money they take for our chosen priorities.
