Sir,

You printed a stunning letter about how how women are to

suffer from a brutally imposed delay to draw a deserved State

Pension.

This is law while all parties talk now of spending more

billions.

As a Tenby man who twice shortlisted with the support of the

Tenby Labour Party and Haverfordwest Labour Party to be their

candidate, I can assure all readers that many issues affect how

people vote and especially in this particular election.

On a cold and maybe also wet day in mid December there will be far more

things affecting voting than ever.

The issues seem to me to be between an establishment party

moving ever further to the right and pro Brexit with a deal

already declared and an opposition party moving ever to the far

left offering a massive transition in the way the country is run.

It is assumed other parties have too big a hill a climb, so the election

is either won by an amicable if clownish Prime Minister or

a very far left wing Labour Party.

All I can say is this... whichever of the big parties loses has to

change its spots.

The Conservatives have to attract more women

and young people and drop its clubable attitudes around outdated

public schools.

Labour would have to drop the left-wing influence of McCluskie

and the Trade Unions.

I wait to see more who loses than who wins. That way we

move close next time to what the nation needs.

Garfield Smith,

London.
