Toynbee play from Cameron makes him ever more popular - while traditional Tories who don’t realise it’s all a PR game go off in a huff and say they intend to vote UKIP.
It’s not Cameron who needs a Plan B. He’s doing very well. It’s Conservatives who want more traditional policies. They would do better to deselect europhile candidates and MP’s within the Conservative Party than run off to UKIP wastelands. Cameron has shown himself willing to challenge the Europhiles but he will need 100% support from the trads to take them on. If they run off to UKIP, they only delay the inevitable battle and help their enemies. Cameron should not ’sort’ the europhiles until he’s secured power. Any other strategy would be suicidal. Trad Tories should steady their nerve and stay with Cameron.

Interesting point of view, but do you actually have any evidence that this is what Cameron is doing, especially in view of the EPP fiasco and his statment that opponents of our EU membership would not get onto his front bench?
Couldn't he at least make some solid EU-sceptic moves, for example, returing to Howard's position on the Common Fisheries policy?
Totemic issues like fishing play well with trad tories. But they are really a con - in that unless we get out of the EU entirely we can't stop the plunder of our seas.
Cameron has it right. Leadership first, then power, then tackle the europhiles in the Conservative party. then move on the citadel to ultimate victory.
Trying to take out mini objectives too early in the campaign gives the game away to the enemy. Cameron is a better strategist than folk realise.
