Dover's CE and Dave have a great deal in common. What happened to make him the MP may well have increased his affinity with Dave also, but as far as Party Politics goes CE did the right thing. Adding to this, the scuttlebutt that may Tory MPs were willing to vote with Dave yesterday, but not at all willing to vote that way upon the substantive motion, that was to come. This has turned out to be an unmitigated disaster for Dave AND his Party.
Dave and his Party have lost a Whipped vote that they should never have lost, and one that there was no need to lose;talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
P.S.
I still don't see that any of this has done much to Boost New Labour either.
