Let's hope it will now manifest itself again in strong support for one of the smaller parties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509959543151548263.post-56471057270331218262009-12-08T20:39:00.554+00:002009-12-08T20:39:00.554+00:00Why do I remain a Tory?Why do I remain a Tory?James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509959543151548263.post-67134305402103464702009-12-08T20:09:06.661+00:002009-12-08T20:09:06.661+00:00Neither strikes me as a careerist.

They both joined the party before the anti-conservative Cameron regime came into power and presumably both remain members because they believe they can still influence the Cameron leadership to some extent or, failing that, expect the party to return to a genuinely conservative and Eurosceptic leadership if he fails. Should the party maintain it's undemocratic and quite contemptuous Europhile stance under Cameron in the next couple of years i would expect them to leave it. If they do not then they will indeed be shown as careerists.Costellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01662545302170353707noreply@blogger.com
