I agree with that. Apparently what pushed the South Bury guy over the edge was the whips threatening him with re-districting which would have removed his seat anyway, so very much a nothing to lose scenario for him (if he didn't fall into line like a good boy).
Apparently the condescension and insults that various cabinet ministers have levelled at the "rebels" have made things worse too.
