Although it was seen as a demotion, the former transport secretary Justine Greening, was moved to become the new international development secretary in the prime minister's latest reshuffle.

In comments Guardian readers have been calling for her resignation from the cabinet, as the west coast mainline debacle happened "on her watch".

Bob Diamond at Barclays resigned because of what happened 'on his watch', so there must be accountability at the top. After all if you can be in charge of something and yet not responsible for major errors then yoiu are not really in charge, are you?
Those in charge are responsible for having the right people and the right checks and measures in place to ensure that adequate control is in place. So I think Greening does bear considerable responsibility for this.

2345678 adds:



Absolutely, she should resign, she told her voters, look at me, here is my professional profile, I can do a good job for you.



Jurach writes:


I'm not saying in any way that she was corrupt or even without good intentions - but she is not up to the job of representing us, the people when she allows her department to perform so shabbily. And if she can't manage to keep a grip on what was surely one of the most pressing bits of business that she had to attend to, then I wouldn't want her trying to sort out any of the sorts of problems that I might go to her about as my mp.

DaTruthHurts adds to the debate:


Yes she needs to go.
When people started saying that the decision was wrong and there were errors that needed looking into she said everything had been checked and the decision was sound.
So she was either lying or incompetant or both.
Either way, she should not be running the country




Do you agree with our commenters Greening should resign?
89% Yes
11% No
