Letters From A Tory Daily views on British politics and the Conservative Party from a centre-right thinker who writes letters on his blog to politicians, journalists and many others.

Dear Michael Ancram,

I don’t understand it, I really don’t.  I will start this letter by saying that you raised some valid points in your article in the Telegraph this morning.  Your views on the Euro, our relationship with Europe, our commitment to lower taxes – all of these will strike a chord with many Conservatives.  Having said this, your letter was nothing short of naive.

I cannot say that I agree with everything David Cameron has said and done since he became leader of the Conservative Party.  I appear to be to the Right of him of some key issues, which many Conservatives will probably empathise with BUT I also want him to be the next Prime Minister of this country.  After being miles behind in the polls recently, he made huge inroads into Labour’s lead with his recent interview on Newsnight and his tough talking on immigration and crime which I thought made him look like genuine Prime Minister material.  So for you to stick your oar in and sabotage his recent gains is an act of stupidity.  You may have undone all of his good work in a single day.

I am sick and tired of people wrecking David Cameron’s chances at the next election from within his own party.  Either you want a Conservative government, in which case you shut up and put up with Cameron, or you don’t.  Make your mind up.

Yours in dismay,

A.Tory
