Days of two-party system have gone

-

DEAR Editor, Since the EU referendum the political parties have been in turmoil.

Now, the Conservati­ve and Unionist (that’s the new Prime Minister’s emphasis) Party has at least got its act together and united for the good of the country.

In contrast, the so-called Labour Party is in complete disarray.

Irrespecti­ve of how you voted in the referendum, it was a democratic decision and should be honoured.

And as regards complaints that the Welsh will now miss out on EU grants, let’s remember that those grants were the result of negotiatio­ns and money contribute­d by the UK.

The Welsh and Scottish contributi­ons are far less than that of England because of geography and the likes.

We must now all pull together for a great future for this great nation – and that means all four countries.

Common sense tells us that the days of the two-party system have long gone. What is now required is a coalition with good men and women from all sides.

Having been a member of the Labour Party since the Thirties, when Labour meant representa­tion for the manual worker, I have watched as the party has been on a downwards spiral which started with the election of Harold Wilson as leader. Dave Pithie, Shard End,
