Frank,Neither you, nor I, nor your other readers will fail to notice that this article is written from the perspective of a member of another party entirely. The Conservative Party.I am confused and bemused why your views (being absolutely correct in my view) are entirely at odds with your own party.Yet you remain there. WHY ? Your skills are considerable, so rather than lose them, why don't you cross the floor. I'm sure your constituents will support you, but if not then I am equally sure that another safer seat will be found on your behalf. Birkenhead's loss if that's the case.You may feel a responsibility or loyalty to your present party (as I once did) but those days are long gone. The people who control and in power within the labour party deserve neither support or sympathy. They are, generally, incompetent and/or corrupt.If you believe you can assist the party for fighting within the ranks then why do so for 5-10 years (min) in the wilderness when you would be better advised to fight within the Conservative party in keeping it true and proper when in power.
