HEAR ALL SIDES: Letters to the Editor
I WAS disappointed to read that the Institute for Fiscal Studies has criticised the Conservatives and Labour for offering voters spending plans that are not credible.
The pledges these two parties have made are not about the real world. Their purpose is simply to get people to vote.
There will be plenty of time after the election for the winners to explain why the plans did not work and who is to blame.
