Conduct Prejudicial

 

I have received a warning from Oliver Dowding, the Conservative Party Chairman, reminding me, as a Party member, to uphold the highest standards and that I am bound by the Conservative Party’s codes of conduct.  Refreshing on the document, I note with interest that, “Bringing the Party into “Disrepute,”” means causing the Party to be held in low or negative esteem as a result of a member’s behaviour or actions and that suspected cases will be investigated using an objective test - an “evidence based approach.” The case against the Prime Minister, based upon the evidence of current opinion polls, is slam-dunk.  But what is even more disreputable is the hundreds of Conservative MPs who are fearlessly cowering in the trenches, unwilling to commit to principle and decent behaviour as being fundamental to their trusted position.  Perhaps they are waiting for the results of the upcoming by elections before daring to move?  In which case, when the bandwagon really gets going, ever serve them right!
