This could mean a couple of things for the Tories - either he alienates them from the mainstream of British public opinion even further by being an extreme right winger (which he is) or he does a more mainstream "family values" approach, modifying his opinions enough to actually get them elected - and once in power they then end up being even worse than before - you thought Blair & Thatcher were bad - Howard as PM will make Ghengis Khan look like a Quaker...
Whoever you vote for the government always gets elected
