I am not at all sure there was anything courageous (or craven) going on. Thank Heaven the word 'Omnishambles' has made it into the dictionary.
It appears to me that Dave thought he was onto a sure thing. A 'thing' that would aid him politically, Thatcher-Blair wise. Maybe the folly was Whipping the vote, as some Whips voted against. (?!)
I cannot bring myself to concede that MPs 'listened' to their constituents, it may just be that there were so few voices (listening BarryW?) for the attack. It seems many MPs thought that the vote might carry and they could still, come the election, plead reasonableness.
I'm left wondering if there is a Parliamentary Conservative Party any more?
