Cameron and Clegg
What does the Tory Right now owe David Cameron? What did it ever? Nothing. Whereas Nick Clegg is posh enough and right-wing enough to stop the shift in support from the Lib Dems to the Tories, and he's posh enough and right-wing enough to alienate those who have in recent years shifted to the Lib Dems from Labour. To counter him, the Tories won't find anyone posher than Cameron, simply because no one possibly could be. But they'd have no trouble finding someone more right-wing. Cameron is finished.
