SIR: With respect to Cllr Critchley's blinkered comments about Bolton voters, I would suggest he is the real disgrace, for failing to appreciate that many people chose not to vote, because they, (like me), saw little choice between the political parties.
New Labour is more like old Tory. The Conservative Party is much the same as always, and the Liberals, are 'well the Liberals'.
Insulting the electorate is not endearing to voters, and if the next election turn-out is low, all these politicians might be wiser to look inwards for explanations.
