Davidson must show her loyalty

Madam, – How’s this for sheer, unadulterated, eye-popping imbecility?

After three years of internal party wrangling; and facing the prospect of a minority government, the leader of Scottish Conservatives launches an advance attack on our new British prime minister.

I can go along with the myth that Ruth Davidson has done good for the Scottish Tories.

Of course she stands head and shoulders above the other party leaders; but that is more due to their inadequacies than any special virtues on her part.

After all, she is only one of many politicians who are or were far too young (therefore too inexperienced and unqualified) to cope with the task of running a country.

And in the final analysis, our Tory Party had more MPs in 1979 than at present.

Wee Ruthie has done

nothing more than halt the depressing run of inept and ineffective leaders we endured over the past 40 years (in my opinion).

But we do ourselves no favours if we tolerate her recent outburst against Boris Johnson.

Likes or dislikes don’t come into it. Members have elected him as leader; therefore he is entitled to expect full and total support (especially from those in leadership roles).

We need a refresher course in this democracy

thing. It only works with an adversarial system wherein various parties offer different opinions.

Party members are of course allowed to argue, but the majority view must be upheld and supported by all.

Anyone who disagrees is free to leave. It really is as simple as that.

And those so-called rebels must be dealt with.

If they wish to indulge egos by obstructing party policy while simultaneously pocketing salaries and expenses (courtesy of

the party), then they should be expelled as the cowards and parasites they are. Jim Parker.
