Letter to Kidderminster Shuttle - 1st July 2008

I read with interest Howard Martin's letter on these pages last week. In it he is very disparaging about party politics.

Letter to the editor - human embryology bill

Dear Sir

One of the topics of conversation that arises from time to time in Wyre Forest is the subject of whips used by political parties. This is the mechanism whereby parties of all flavours and colours strongly encourage their elected members to vote along party lines to support the policies of their parties. The debate rages as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but when the whip is used correctly, it is good.
