Sir: Those who have rebelled against their party in the vote on benefits for single parents ought to remember that they have been elected not just to put in place the wishes of those who voted for them, or to exercise the ideology of their party, albeit the "old" party, but to govern for the benefit of the whole people, a requirement forgotten in their time by their predecessors, much to their eventual cost.
