No, my point is more that it's almost heartening, perhaps even inevitable, that despite the concerted effort made in recent times to rebrand the Tories as some kind of egalitarian, green, socially conscious and representative party that the true nature of the beast is revealed in moments like this. There are a lot of wavering, rightly disgruntled voters out there and "Dave" has, thus far, been fairly succesful in attracting quite a few of them with his "Hey, we're different now, give us a hug!" schtick.
It's not an "excuse" to rally against anything - it's a good reason!
