THE run up to the 2015 General Election will render many of us punch drunk with letters' page contributions from political parties desperate to highlight their opponents’ shortcomings and to conceal their own.

With limited space to accept readers’ contributions on a range of interesting topics can we please see a policy of rejecting political contributions which are in no sense fair and unbiased, and instead to accept them as advertising material subject to a commensurate fee?
