AS someone who at 80 has always voted Conservative, I am concerned at the party getting rid of Ian Duncan Smith. He could have done a really good job as our Prime Minister.

He was a true party leader and we could have done well if he were our next PM. So what is going to happen to our party? Let us hope we can become the next Government.

Tom Smith,

Heathfield Road, York.
