The right does have at least seem to have its head screwed on with regard to tolerance of disparate viewpoints, possibly because they have to in order to hold together the weird, otherwise unworkable coalition, that is the Tory party.

Good point, well demonstrated by the five prime ministers in the last six years and amazingly coherent policy they have managed to deliver

Oh for sure, policy-wise they're fucked because they can't admit that the initial response to Brexit has to be damage limitation and that the sunlit uplands,if they exist, are decades away. I still think that they're better at coalition-building because they are happy to accept off-topic disagreements.

Good at coalition-building because, beyond any nuanced differences, there’s broad agreement on the right over who’s going to ‘get it’ when the torches/pitchfork brigade are mobilised? : )

little bit of editing
