Repetition of history

-

Sir, - Nicola Sturgeon condemns Theresa May as “unelected” but this implies we have a presidenti­al system, whereas we have a parliament­ary system, in which prime ministers hold office through the support of a majority of MPs.

There’s a sense in which history is repeating itself because Douglas Young, wartime leader of the SNP, when encouragin­g the Scots to refuse conscripti­on, also accused Winston Churchill of being “unelected”. Rev Dr John Cameron. 10 Howard Place, St Andrews.
