David Cameron a Pseudo-Conservative?

David Cameron (source: Wikipedia)

The Conservative Party of the great Margaret Thatcher has been stabbed.

David Cameron, in 2010, opted by forming a disastrous coalition with Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats (and I say disastrous not only because their policies have intensified UK's recession but also because their alliance is corrupting the values of the Tories).

Analysis is capital. David Cameron, and his political team, failed to analyse a party that doesn't seem to make up its mind about what its ideology really is (i.e. the Liberal Democrats defend social, classical and economic liberalism simultaneously; community politics; internationalism; civil libertarianism; and capitalism) and a party that isn't quite sure where it stands (i.e. its political position goes from radical centre to centre-right; although it conveniently forgot to include centre-left which is the usual position for those advocating for social liberalism). Furthermore, by not having analysed the Lib Dems properly; David Cameron failed to see that Nick Clegg sought to join forces with him so that he could promote his party; gain power and influence. The Lib Dems cannot be trusted, as per Nick Clegg's words "The longer you stand side-by-side with your opponents, the easier your differences are to see." - talking about showing one's real colours (Mr Clegg's strategy is to undermine the Conservative Party, so that in 2015 the disappointed Tory Electorate takes its vote elsewhere).

I can't seem to bring myself to understand how a party holding 307 national seats (i.e. the Conservative Party) allows itself to be dominated by a party that holds 57 national seats (i.e. Liberal Democrats). What does Nick Clegg have on David Cameron (and perhaps on other figures of the Tories) that can yield so much influence and make a party shift its own core values so blatantly?
For instance, the Civil Partnership Act 2004 grants homosexual couples the right to join in civil unions (granting them, thus, the same civil rights as heterosexual couples). But that was not enough for Lib Dems; so they made sure - and it would be quite useful to find out how - David Cameron would not only declare his utmost support for "same-sex marriage" but also declare that religious institutions should be able to marry homosexual couples (if so they wished; notwithstanding if any institution would refuse, they would be protected by law).

How dares PM Cameron to put the Church of England (and other churches) in that position? Legal protection won't stop some ill-intended gay activists from approaching religious institutes with the sole purpose of having them refusing to perform the ceremony and, then take the whole affair to the public arena (as we know, in the public opinion warfare the law matters little).

So what's next? The House of Lords. Nick Clegg's main goal is to end it; but for the time being he is beating around the bush by beginning to call for "a smaller House of Lords with 300 members, 80% of which would be elected". This political reform sounds more like a direct attack to the British Aristocracy...and by the current course of things, we might end up witnessing the PM following the orders of his Deputy PM and supporting this utterly unacceptable plan.

Any Tory leader, worthy of that name, has the obligation to uphold certain principles...

This blog advocates for a modern conservative right wing; however what is happening in Britain, right now, is either a clumsy attempt to achieve that modernity or it is an outright attempt to pervert even further the British Traditional Values.
