A reasonable ACOL sequence at Match Point Bridge would be:
there was alcohol in the body. Mr Williamson could have laid down on the line and let himself be run over or there was “just a possibility” that because of the whisky, com bined with pills he was taking, he did not know where he was and was accidentally knocked down by the train. His widow, Mrs Jane Mary Williamson, told the coroner that although her husband had sometimes mentioned suicide during bouts of depression, he had always said he would never do anything because he loved her and his four children too much.

THE sight and sound of over 200 Conservative MPs, overwhelmingly male, assembled in the House of Commons main Committee Room bang ing their desks in appreci ation of Mrs Margaret Thatcher would have cheered the heart of Mrs Pankhurst had not Mrs Indira Ghandi and Mrs Golda Meir and Mrs Ban- daranaike made it before. Women’s Lib will no doubt suspend judgment to see if Mrs Thatcher
calls herself M/S. iHowever, more serious mat
ters are involved in the choice of a Leader of the Opposition and a major political pifti-y than the fact that she is a woman. Whatever the discus- s io n s and a rg um e n ts elsewhere I did not hear one single Parliamentary col league say that he was voting for or against her because of
her sex.
How I voted in the first ballot is secret and stays so as I am a member of the Executive of my party. That I resigned temporarily to support Sir Geoffrey Howe is on the other hand no secret, at least to readers of the Daily Tele
. „ . graph. CONTENT
There are bonds of personal loyalty and friendship in polit ical life which any man, who wishes to regard himself in the shaving mirror with any equanimity, must observe. There is no doubt that Howe, described in the Sunday Tele graph as “the epitome of thinking Conservatism” will be in the Shadow Cabinet, and
I am content. There was no third ballot, so
the complicated considera tions of exercising two votes at that stage did not arise. The real point is that Mar garet Thatcher was elected by a majority in a democratic process. In just the same way Ted Heath was defeated. lt is common form for all of us, high or low, at all levels, whatever party we support, who become involved in politi-

COURAGE U n d o u b ted ly Margaret
Thatcher gained votes in the first ballot simply because she had the courage to stand, just as surely Ted Heath lost votes because many thought he should have stood down after losing two General Elections. Much of the argument and indeed the complications of the electoral system arose because in the Conservative party there was no system by which to provoke what is in effect a vote of confidence in the leadership. Now at last there is a system of annual elections so that a leader holds power on leasehold, not freehold. So that no leader, Mrs Thatcher included, can how afford to ride roughshod over any considerable body of
critics. DIFFERENCES

This to my mind cannot be anything else but an improve ment. It should be remem bered that Ted Heath’s own election marked at the time a welcome move away from the emergence process which left great discontent behind it. Similarly Margaret Thatcher’s election has completed the march towards a complete democratic process. Hence forth anyone who fancies becoming Leader of the Con servative party has only to wait a maximum of 12 months and find a proposer and seconder. (By the way, ac cording to present rules, you
First came reports of over whelming support for Ted Heath from all sections of the Conservative party all over the country. There were m fact significant differences between regions, different age groups and between Con servative held and Liberal and Labour held constituencies. These differences and the reasons for them were of course known to Conservative MPs and no doubt affected the way in which they voted. Second, the media, and the bookmakers for that matter, were wildly out of touch when they predicted that Willie Whitelaw would almost ef fortlessly move into the shoes of his former chief. I think the Press at least was overinflu enced by social images now outdated and also considera bly underrated the strength ot the desire for change within the Parliamentary party. However the bookmakers should have had more sense, whatever stable he came out of Willie Whitelaw had never been over the course and Margaret Thatcher had, and beaten the then favourite in
