Nick,

I am writing to you to ask for you to either confirm or deny your intention to create a coalition with the Conservatives in the event of a hung parliament. Until the beginning of this week, mine, and most of my friends and family's votes were assured for your party. But now, after talk of a coalition there is no way I could place my vote in any way that would bring the Tories to power.

At this time of economic instability, a Conservative government would be incredibly dangerous to the future of this great country. In usual Tory tradition during a recession, the rich would be allowed to become richer, and the everyday working man would find his livelihood at daily risk. I believe that the values of the Liberal Democrats are wholly different to those of the Tories, and I would hope that a vote for the LibDems is a vote for your values, and not theirs.

Please, to enable us all to vote for you with confidence that our vote will not bring a Conservative government into power, confirm you have no intention to, and will not, create a coalition with the Tories.

Yours,

Richard Bishop
