Never though I would sympathise with a Conservati­ve leader

-

I never thought that I would be writing with some sympathy for a conservati­ve Prime Minister, more especially since I consider myself to the left of Labour, though it arises out of some serious thought with respect to the almost impossible ridiculous situation in which she finds herself.

At the very least she put up a great fight for the majority who voted for out though it must be conceded that aspects of her proposals, those containing an element of appeasing remainers, may prove to be her ultimate downfall.

I doubt, however, if Labour can resolve the issue with any degree of certainty as they seem to be leaning towards remaining even though may not always appear to state so explicitly.

The problem for her is not too difficult to understand: the vast majority of MPs wanting to remain and are intent on doing everything to derail the Brexit. The solution, given this backcloth, is virtually impossible. However as Theresa May has unremittin­gly maintained, MPs should respect the result of the referendum, support the democratic vote and in effect respect the majority of the electorate.

The problem arose from day one after the referendum with so many of those that lost refusing to accept the decision and since have done nothing but moan and try to wreck its implementa­tion. Even now they try to tell those who voted out they were sort of hoodwinked.

For goodness sake every time anyone votes they have to assimilate the material presented to them, knowing only too well there will be some hyperbole on the part of all parties, be it the fear factor or content of slogans. In a democracy you do your own thinking aware that aspects of the media have their particular bias. David Abbott Stoke Golding
