DAVID Quarrie tells us that he will be extremely unhappy until a UK Government contains no Conservative, Liberal, Green, Labour, Liberal Democrat, Socialist Worker or Communist within it (Letters, November 29).

No guessing what colours are nailed to David’s mast then – and I’ll be brave enough to gamble that he is going to be very, very, very miserable for a long, long time!
