The Independent supplies an interesting article about the possible Conservative party reaction to a Lib/Con deal containing electoral reform.
The speculation about the grassroots revolt comes from comments made by a Shadow Minister and Lord Heseltine, which suggests some party resistance on changing the electoral system to gain a majority deal. ""The PR element is causing a great deal of angst both among MPs and within the grassroots."-The Independent.
The article also hints that backbenchers are saying the Conservatives could work in a minority government rather than making a deal with the Liberal Democrats. Check out the report, because it breaks down the Tory party members under the Modernisers, Tory Right, The Traditionalist Right titles, a great list to know when the BBC reads out who the Conservative sent to negotiation meetings.
