Mr R. Paterson's letter (The Weekend Sun, March 22) was indeed interesting to read, but very confusing.

Sir, you're obviously a man of intelligence and have a world of knowledge and many years of voting, but it's also apparent that you're unhappy with Labour and former politicians from National. The confusing part is you, along with most New Zealanders, have voted time and again to keep a system that you're unhappy with - even a bit angry.

I would suggest you should move overseas and find a democratic country that suits your needs, but that would be impossible as they're all in a mess too. By your writings, you're obviously not a fan of socialism, Marxism, idealists and so on, so I guess we are stuck with you.

I'm of the opinion there is neither a place nor a system you would be happy with.

R Stewart, Te Puke (abridged).
