I wholeheartedly agree with M Thompson (Opinion Extra, May 31) but have good news for him or her.

You do not need to wait for proportional representation because there is an excellent alternative to both the Tories and Labour. It is called the Socialist Alliance.

Andy Richards is the prospective parliamentary candidate for Hove and Portslade and Geri Payne is standing for Brighton and Hove City Council in Goldsmid ward. Voting for and supporting the Socialist Alliance is a positive way of registering your protest against the increasingly right-wing policies of this Government.
