Sir, – I am only recovering from the endless media coverage, polls and predictions from the US presidential election and now we have much the same happening here in our own media. I think my head is almost done in at this stage! – Yours, etc,

Sir, – It is clear from the outset that political party manifestos and promises to the electorate mean nothing. Until a government is formed and an agreed programme for government with various parties concluded, no policy can be guaranteed to make it into the programme for government. Politicians can promise the sun, the moon and stars without any consequence. No wonder electorates are so cynical. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Hopefully, with a new government, the price of eggs will come down. – Yours, etc,
