Derek Conway has had the Whip withdrawn. Now he should do the decent thing and withdraw himself from parliament, and if he doesn’t his local association should de-select him.
Now is the time to show both honour and Party loyalty.

Conway Whip Withdrawn - Now He Should Stand Down

Isn’t it strange that it’s taken all this time for someone to whisper to somebody that there just might have taken place a tinsy winsy bit of nepotism? One might very properly wonder why now.
Is there a clue in the suggestion that there are some who thought Mr Conway would be a worthy successor to Speaker Martin.
Is there perhaps just a small probability that there were some who thought that Mr Conway (who lost Shrewsbury in 1997 to Mr Marsden by a massive 11.4 % swing) was not quite the right chap for full bottom wig and black tights and decided to do something about it.
And if that just happened to be the case - well doesn’t one recall the much lamented recent PM saying something about the House and low skuldeggery?

This is the Only Option for Derek Conway now and I trust his Constituency Party will make this clear to him.
At least David Cameron withdrawing the Whip should take away the label that he Dithered.
Politics has to become more accountable to the people the MP’s represent, is it time that family and friends should not be able to work for MP’s for payment, what if everyone in the private sector wanted there partner or friend to work with them? - A Vicar/Curates wife does much work for them but they are not on the pay roll!
