Letter: Troops must stay in Iraq to keep peace

Sir: Democrats around the world have achieved a hat-trick; better still, four in a row: Georgia, Ukraine, Palestine and Iraq. This should be a signal to British democrats to reject apathy and to vote in elections; also to prevent the tyranny of governments backed only by a minority of voters. Parliament should seriously consider providing a second round of voting in all constituencies where no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes cast.
