SIR – Councillor John Hall (Letters, January 6) still goes on about the unfairness of the first-past-the-post election system.

What is fair about two parties of equal strength with a combined 90 per cent vote being held to ransom by parties sharing ten per cent?

In my opinion, the Lib Dems hold too much sway in the coalition run by Cameron and Clegg. What a fiasco.
