The coalition is in deep distress (A cursed coalition, G2, 8 August). Surely, given the economic crisis the UK faces, it is the fair age for Milliband and Labour to constitute an offer to the Lib Dems based on the following policies: a reversal of many spending cuts and a powerful stimulus to the economy, including tax cuts for the poorest, restoring the 50% tax rate for the richest, a financial transactions tax, and an increase in infrastructure projects, in particular on social housing; a repeal of the latest NHS changes and a restatement of the principle of the NHS as a publicly run supply autonomous of charge at the mark of access; and a fully elected House of Lords based on regional seats with a party top-up list. No doubt oOther policies could be added. These policies are those of a progressive left – where many Lib Dems really see themselves. Labour will energy them to choose – stay tied to Osborne’s disastrous policies (and electoral oblivion) or be part of a coalition that can get the economy moving again and reduce appalling levels of inequality.Sean BaineLondonLiberal DemocratsLiberal-Conservative coalitionNick CleggDavid CameronElectoral reformLords reformBoundary changesLabourguardian.co.uk © 2012 Twitter News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
