An open letter to the government of the UK and the Conservative party:
Dear politicians,
I think you should listen to this. Why? Because I am one of your prized swing voters. I change which party I vote for based on the issues of the day and what I think is in the best interests of the country as a whole. I have voted for all three of the traditional major parties over the last 20 years and I have no allegiance. That being said, my natural allegiance is probably slightly to the right of centre and therefore I should be a natural tory voter. We'll come to that.
Also I have a lot of interests that I am aware of and concerned about. I have been a serving Army officer, a long term user of major NHS services, a single parent, an active sports coach, a mental health patient and a...

AN OPEN LETTER TO Sen.Bernie Sanders
Dear Senator Sanders,
As you may have noticed lately, a rather large percentage of your supporters are steadfastly
refusing to vote for Sen.Clinton no matter the outcome of the Democatic Party Primary. I am one of
those people. Because of the principles and causes you champion, I changed my voter registration from
a proud Independent to a Democrat for the sole reason of voting for you in the Democratic Primary.
You, I believe, know how it feels to have to join a party to have your voice heard. I hold no love in
my heart for either major political party and frankly despise the so-called "two party system". I've
been an Independent since I turned 18 in 1987 and plan on becoming one again as soon as I cast my
vote in Pennsylvania.I also know...

To the government with a voice,
Issues of national concern being reduced to tweets has come to be the new found convention for addressal. However, I feel it is virtually impossible to accommodate the tolerance of our country in 140 characters – or less. Presently, our country is bearing natural calamity coupled with political brunt, invoking a little more tolerance than appropriate, in response. Selfies, social media, and advert banners have gained increasingly popularity during the Modi reign to the point of reliance. Every international and national tour involving the Prime Minister and the Cabinet are elaborately celebrated and highlighted on various media platforms – Gaining Mr Modi the image of the most tech savvy prime minister our country has ever witnessed.

Dear Mr Baird,
I refer to your recent trip to Israel, which I understand was funded by the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies. I appreciate your attempt to visit Palestinian areas in East Jerusalem and Bethlehem and I trust that you witnessed first-hand the devastation caused by the occupation and the apartheid walls in these areas. I assume that you recognised the extreme hardship and severe poverty experienced in the day to day lives of the refugees in Aida, which is just a very small fraction of Palestinians that were expelled from the greater areas of Palestine during the horrific Nakba, upon the creation of the new State of Israel in 1948.
I was very impressed that mainstream media presented a report on your visit to Aida and that the reporter referred appropriately to the occupation...

Hi Everyone
There is a question, which was bothering me, so I thought to ask you “Do we have right to protest against anything, if no then who will decide against what we can protest and against what we can’t.”
Before I began expressing my views, let me put disclaimer:
this letter just expressions my view on some issues, these views are not binding on any one, you have right to disagree with these views. The person writing this letter is not associated with any political or terrorist organization. And most important I am happy in India and don’t want to go to Pakistan or another country. Even if you want to send me somewhere, please arrange a world tour, I want to see which country is best for living ;)
…good now I can start writing… the question that bother me most, does...

An Open Letter to the Citizens of the United States of America
2016 April
If you’re anything like me, the two likely Presidential candidates do nothing for you. As a matter of fact, the whole concept of running for office of President of the United States of America has become more like a Saturday Night Live skit than an actual voters’ choose, statesmen serve process …and I’ve had ENOUGH!
For the last twenty plus years, every government servant elected by the people to serve as President or in Congress has left their political office a millionaire regardless of their party, gender, ethnicity, religion, age or education. It seems like Congress is the place to get a job. Now, let’s examine what it takes to get a job in national politics aside from...
