The Conservative party are (at a minimum) two parties pretending to be one
This is true of Labour also though, as was very evident leading up to, under and then immediately after JC's tenure.

Just imagine how many parties we would have if we ditched FPTP and you could actually vote for who you wanted rather than against the evil people.

True, but current polling shows that the Labour Party, however fractious, are going to win back 42 of the 45 "red wall" seats, in what would be a bloodbath for the Tories in Wales/Midlands/Norf.
If, and it's a big if, Labour can stop screaming at itself for long enough to capitalise on the wholesale, venal incompetence of the Johnson administration.

Dammit
The Conservative party are (at a minimum) two parties pretending to be one, it's likely to be more. Johnson was (and maybe still is) capable of holding together low-tax libertarians with the high tax authoritarians, but Sunak and Truss won't be able to.
You'll have the ERG and 2019 intake fighting like cats in a sack, and I suspect ultimately a split.
Be interesting to see if the Scottish Tories split off, we need More Mogg to make that happen, maybe, but it's clear to Ross et al that they're viewed as children who are play-acting, and need to grow up and do what they're told. Depends on how craven they are I suppose.
