Poor old John Redwood. Whenever his party is in Government, this is what happens. The tiny number of right-wing MPs, always less numerous than the present strength of the Lib Dems and now barely half that strength, functions as a separate, carping party of the angry and embittered. And that has been without a coalition with the Lib Dems.
Will High Tory paleocons, especially, now come round about electoral reform? That way, their party might sometimes be in Government, probably a lot of the time. Whereas as things stand, it is permanently in Opposition. Entirely regardless of what colour rosette the Prime Minister wore on the stump.
