A commenter to Marina Hyde's post-election column said : "Not a single one of them has the insight to understand that when your policies are designed to appeal to a minority, then you won't end up with a very large vote share." I understand the sentiment but Dr Riley's comment exposes why that's besides the point. In politics you mobilize money and/or people. The Conservative's "majority" is money, which did serve them well until now.
