Sir,
Never before has Westminster politics been in such utter chaos. The country is drifting rudderless like a ship heading for the rocks. The pound has crashed and share prices are fluctuating while Westminster politicians focus on themselves.
We have a Tory government who cannot govern and an opposition which cannot oppose. The only consistency we have is chaos, so much for being "Better Together." We were also told that the only way to stay in the EU was stay with the Union. Scotland is being dragged out of the EU against our will and Westminster couldn't care less.
The Tories have no exit plan despite being the party who created this economic blunder. The Brexit and Remain factions within the Tories are too busy fighting amongst themselves to take notice of the economic dangers we are facing. The Labour opposition are in the midst of a bloody revolution where internal events dominate their attention.
Letter: Westminster politics in utter chaos
8 July 2016
The leader of the opposition is now in the crazy position where he can't fill shadow cabinet posts. We now have a shadow Secretary of State for Scotland who fulfils the same role for Northern Ireland. Not only does he have two jobs, he is against the Barnet formula. How can he represent Scotland's needs?
The only political leader who is facing up to the challenges of leaving the EU is the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon. She has already been to Brussels to set up contacts in an effort to salvage some benefits.
This EU referendum was an internal Tory dispute which they took outside their party as they fought each other for control. Scotland will pay a high economic price for the unprofessional behaviour of a Westminster government and opposition. The situation at Westminster will only get worse as both parties fall apart. Can we really afford to be in this crazy union, the Disunited Kingdom.
