It is a fact that, nothwithstanding the Tory leadership’s liberal tendencies, the vast majority of the population is ‘small c’ conservative and will remain so. The leaderships of all political movements are never as clever as they think they are; the problems always arise when they go too far with their plans for the rest of us (they always do go too far) and the backlash arrives (as it always does). If only the idiots could learn this lesson!
