Yes, Cameron's desperate (but typically lazy) move to appease UKIP voters does seem to have backfired spectacularly, both in terms of retaining a sizeable group of extreme anti-EU members within the party, and also, of course, in deciding to go ahead with the referendum in the first place. The Tory party is pretty fucked.
I wondered that from that mental graph yesterday - it suggests that the party is wildly out of touch with it's members (like Labour I guess) and that can't have just happened through time with its long serving members.
Is there any evidence of entryism of the Tory party I wonder. I guess you can't tell easily tell without published numbers..
