Probably true but one of the checks against bad government is its own MPs fearing the loss of their seats.
We want more self-serving ministers resigning.

Every resignation adds to the publicâs sense of an incompetent government.

Major hung on for 5 years and was annihilated. Thatâs the best of the plausible outcomes now unless Brexit really goes badly wrong for a large number of people eg economy and unemployment donât recover, the IMF called in as per the 70s, widespread riots and social unrest, mass demonstrations etc, which is hard for anyone to wish for.
The Scottish conservative leader, Jackson Carlaw , has finally called for Dominic Cummings to resign, after coming under intense pressure while a number of his own MSPs expressed their strong support for their colleague Douglas Ross , who resigned as a UK government minister earlier today in protest at the Cummings row.
After an earlier equivocal statement, in which he said that âthis is a difficult situation for many, and people will arrive at different judgments,â Carlaw told STV this afternoon:
It is absolutely a matter for the prime minister himself who serves him and for how long they serve but given the furore, given the distraction we are now in, given the distraction to the prime minister onto this issue if I were Mr Cummings I would be considering my position.
A number of the Scottish Conservative MSP group called directly for Cummings to quit as they expressed their solidarity with Ross.
Adam Tomkins described Rossâs resignation as âa disasterâ, stating: âHis was one of clearest voices for the union in government. It shows exactly why Cummings should be sacked.â
A number of senior Holyrood colleagues followed suit, privately expressing frustration at Carlawâs weak initial statement.
With Holyrood elections only 12 months away, Scottish Tories are all too aware of how this plays to Scottish voters in terms of the apparent entitlement of distant London elites.
