"Cameron is deliberately using the alliance with the Liberal Democrats to reduce the power of the Conservative Right"

I've already published two sets of findings from the ConservativeHome Members' Panel:

• 43% of grassroots members think Cameron gave away too much to Clegg in order to get a coalition deal (51% do not); and
• Tory members approve of Coalition by more than three-to-one.

The third is something Cameron needs to nip in the bud:

The feeling will be fuelled by the enthusiasm which Cameron has shown in praising Chris Huhne and Vince Cable. The Prime Minister called Cable an "economic star".
