I agree that a lot of traditional conservatives vote for the party regardless and that, in theory, you are correct. In reality though, I think a lot of the middle ground voted for the (moderate) leadership of Cameron rather than the party specifically. In that respect, it is ironic that, after we complained about unelected Brussels bureaucrats, we may now find our country led by a person nobody voted for.
