Perhaps David Miliband (Lib Dem 'anti-politics' is not a way to govern – Miliband, 24 April) has identified the reason why many would-be Labour supporters are in a quandary. They do not want to see a government led by Midshipman Cameron, the new face of Conservatism who, once elected, will find Old-Tory grandees are the ones with real control of the ship. Nor do they want to see Gordon Brown continue to lead their party to oblivion.
So, is a vote for Nick Clegg an example of anti-politics? Or is it the only way the Labour party can drag itself into the post-Blair era? If a hung parliament leads to a hiatus in which nothing meaningful can be achieved between the three parties, it might provide the stimulus for Labour to get its house in order. If it results in the emergence of a new, dynamic leader, the party will be better equipped to move forwards. Any volunteers, Messrs Miliband?
