    This is very much anecdotal, but overwhelmingly the tories I know are crack-on, don't get bogged down in details, it'll be fine if you believe hard enough types. Conversely thise on the left are more critical. Doers vs Thinkers, I guess. I think it's much easier to work together if you're the former personality type - see how Pro-immigration Singapore-on-Thames Tories can sit in the same party as protectionist racists.

    In any event you've got to a bit careful about how you draw your conclusions. I know someone who wrote their masters dissertation on Party cabinet styles from WW2 to Brown and their conclusion was that Labour were more dictatorial and less collaborative.

    Maybe so, but this is about voters, party members and back benchers as much as cabinets.
