A party not acting in the interests of the country

Grant Schapps joins the calls for the Prime Minister to stand down.

The Conservative party is disintegrating before our eyes with mounting pressure for the resignation of Prime Minister Teresa May. The cause of this growing dissatisfaction with the leadership is not only the disastrous decision to call a general election back in June, or the calamitous party conference in Manchester nor even the lamentable "negotiations" in respect of the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, but an accumulation of negative effects all of which are self inflicted. The numerous factions within the Conservative party, now heap blame on each other collectively and individually for their present situation, and scrabble around looking for a solution. One faction, led it appears by Grant Schapps, calls for an immediate leadership contest, whilst another faction with Amber Rudd in front, brazenly asserts that, "Theresa May has the full support of the entire cabinet" which is so blatantly fictitious as to be laughable.

Michel Barnier, Chief Negotiator for the 27 EU countries, has already stated that the British Prime Minister has lost all credibility and legitimacy in the Brexit negotiations as her standing at home and the status of her government crumbles. The United Kingdom is a laughing stock throughout Europe if not the whole world.
This of course raises the question as to what is now in the best interests of the United Kingdom and its people? No matter how many times any of the warring factions in the Conservative party may plead to the contrary, this continued in fighting has only confirmed an opinion which many have held for some time. The conservative party is not acting in the best interest of the country. They are as they have always been, driven by the pursuit and retention of power at any cost. The June general election was called not in the interests of the nation, but with the objective of destroying the Labour party and achieving a three figure majority in the House of Commons. Then as now, the motives of both those calling for Theresa May to stand down and the supporters of the Prime Minister are driven by self interest, where on the one hand Grant Schapps and those around him, seek a new leadership without the damage inflicted since June, whilst on the other, Theresa May is determined to cling on in power, weak and unstable, supported at least in public, by some of her cabinet. The one factor that the two sides have in common, is a preponderant dread of Jeremy Corbyn and the probability of a Labour government.

The pro and anti Theresa May camps squabble continue with their struggle to achieve their own objectives. Both side know that should the Prime Minister stand down the "new" Prime Minster would be under intense pressure to hold a general election albeit that such pressure might be resisted for a time. Both sides also know what the outcome of a general election under such circumstances would be. The staggering reality is that both sides also know that the current circumstances cannot continue and that the longer this damaged and vulnerable Prime Minister limps on in power, more damage is being done to the country, the economy, its people and the credibility of the United Kingdom around the world.
The Conservatives are not governing in the interests of the country. They are shamelessly pursuing their own individual agenda's as the country suffers the consequences.
