A Failure of Compromise?

 

BREAKING

Nick Boles resigns from the Conservative Party

'I accept I have failed. I have failed chiefly because my party has failed to compromise

'I regret that I have therefore resigned from this party'

Boles may well be right about the Tories. However, he should not ignore the fact that May's deal would have passed if Labour had voted for it. The failure of compromise lies with all parties at Westminster, not just the Tories.

This is evidenced by the fact that all of last night's indicative votes were defeated.
