My answer would be better if I could find the exact quote from him that I read in the Economist. But when he left the Tories his failed leadership bid, he was quoted as calling the Tories something close to evil. I can't remember the exact words, but It was way stronger than a bit constructive criticism.
My point being that weeks prior he was hoping to ride that same bunch of cretins into power. But what did that matter as long as he could be the center of it all? That's why I consider him a solipsist. It's alway about him isn't it. Everyone else are just badly drawn background characters in the epic narrative that is his very existence.
Rory Stewart can get fucked.
Solipsistic weirdo.
