The Tory problem in a nutshell
Take a look at the front page of Politics Home at the time of writing.
Story #1: Tory splits on Europe.
Story #4: Tory (and possibly Labour) splits on Europe.
Europe dominates – with just story #3 about the sort of issues that people say are the most important to them.
I believe that these undisciplined Tory backbenchers have lost Cameron the next general election if he had not lost it already. They also make a Labour/UKIP coalition more likely than the desirable Labour/Lib Dem coalition (desirable as long as Lib Dems run the economy).
