It sounds like a junior high clique. "You were nice to our enemy so now you have can't sit at our lunch table." No wonder things are such a mess - people are supposed to represent their constituents, not their party.

"But I don't quarrel with that," Black said. "Leader Cross appointed me to the position of deputy Republican leader and has every ability to take me out of that position. That's fine."
