My last ConHome column addresses the same topic as my first: If I were a Tory, here’s what I would do.

In an uncertain world, here are a few certainties to bank on.
Conservatives largest party. Labour close behind. Less bad for the LibDems that some predict. UKIP win three seats. The SNP grab over 20.
The two main parties are making a big mistake by pitching their appeal at supporters of two minor ones – UKIP and the Greens.
The reality is that there is no easy bounce-back recovery for the Lib Dems. It’s going to be a long, hard slog. And that’s the best case scenario.
