Threat to democracy

WITH the SNP’s continual insistence about Scotland’s democratic right to choose (regardless that we made that choice in 2014), it is more than a bit rich that it is willing to work with Jeremy Corbyn in an effort to oust the UK’s democratically elected Government and install a man and a party in which the people have no say. Of course, Nationalists are happy to interfere in UK matters, believing they will be one step closer to achieving their dream. Democracy is dead. Long live democracy. CRAIG ELLIOT, Bridgend,

West Lothian. WHAT gives our representatives at Westminster and the First Minister the egotistical fantasy that they are not bound by the majority decision of the electorate?

What is it about the sorely achieved rights of democracy that they don’t agree with or do not want for the country? In 2019 we are witnessing the end of democracy and heralding a new world of socialist anarchy.

Politics in the UK is based upon party political lines, whereby each publishes a manifesto before an election telling the voters of policy and plans for government.

The manifestos for both socialist and Tory before the 2015 election promised exit from the EU in accord with the will of the people, expressed in a referendum. So why are we still members?

Should it not be a matter of morality and honour that a representative who no longer believes in the manifesto is obliged to resign the whip of the party and seek election under another banner?
