Voice Of The Argus (October 20) was an unbelievable insult to the electors of Brighton and Hove who have voted overwhelmingly against a directly-elected mayor.

Surely, in defeat, The Argus should have accepted the result as democratic and not continued its attack on the Allies For Democracy?

Newspapers should report the news and allow debate on issues but should not adopt political stances. That is the job of politicians.
