SIR: As a member of Bolton South East Conservative Association and a member of the Conservative Party, I feel I must let the 41,000 Conservatives in Bolton know that not all members are dispirited.

Brian Iddon, the Labour Councillor and now newly elected MP for our area sits in Parliament and I will be watching with interest to see his performance for Bolton South East.

I lived and worked during the last Labour Government and saw what they were like. They too started off with euphoria and enthusiasm and everyone knows how the country ended up.

So I say to the Conservatives in Bolton, these Labour Politicians who have stolen most of the Conservatives ideas will eventually show their true colours and the country will again call on the Conservative Party to put it right again.

This is in answer to your article on June 10 regarding Bolton South East.
