SIR - Re Mark Garnier's Important to Read Parties Manifestos, October 9, what he misses is the largest party is the They're in it for themselves party - the non-voters, which make up more than 40 per cent of any election.

From the electorate's point of view the Tory's have failed on Europe, failed on immigration, failed on education, failed on health, failed on policing, and failed on Labour's government debt, yet the rich get richer. Just one bank, in one year, made £3.2 billion in profits, from which the bosses paid themselves £2.4 billion in bonuses, whilst £800 million went to shareholders. Cameron, Clegg and Milliband don't have the imagination to appreciate what that looks like to tens of millions of ordinary voters. It's the same with the multibillion pound tax dodges perpetrated by the likes of Google, Amazon and Starbucks and all. Didn't the Tory's take £20 billion out of our health budgets yet at the same time allow these companies to legally avoid tens of billions, in UK taxes?

The voters aren't going to read party manifestos. As we see from Clacton as well as Heywood and Middleton the little people are swelling the ranks of The People's Party. That People's Army is also going to destroy the liberal metropolitan elite's political ghetto, from which most are now excluded. Sadly such things are beyond the grasp of Cameron, Clegg and Milliband because, in today's political climate, they are quite literally Yesterday's Men.
