It's not though

Cameron will be beholden to his Cuntish Right Wing. I think he's quite likely to do case by case deals with the flabberals to outflank the CRW. I think he will go in 2017 possibly or 2018 probably. I think Boris is most likely to succeed him.

Meantime Labour has some major, major strategic decisions to make. The Liberals need to wonder what they're for and when they've decided persuade people they're a good idea. UKIP need to go to Dover and throw themselves off a cliff. Greens need to learn their times tables as a nice starting point.

As someone who spends a lot of time at Westminster and Whitehall I can't escape the thought that if you take the coherent policy sets broadly supported, MPs and the electorate naturally cluster, but in different groups to what the traditional parties represent.
