The Tory Split Opens Up

A split over the horrendous fifty-five per cent rule, a rule as alien to Westminster as is the secret ballot once again to be employed in electing a Speaker, and a rule appropriate, if at all, to the vastly more immature institutions where such things currently obtain.

And a split led by David Davis.

Electoral reform is on its way. A proper Tory party, Whig-free at last, could benefit from it. As surely as a proper Labour party, free at least from cultural no less than from economic Marxists, could, should, must and will benefit from it.
