This response can’t be read in any other way than as an emphatic thumbs-down to the change.
Over six times as many Party members are opposed to getting involved at all than support sending in ground troops.
My explanation is that Party members want a tough line to be taken on Islamist extremism, and in their view the Education Secretary’s take is tougher.
Osborne is up two places and now lies third. And Sajid Javid, a new entry, comes in above four of the other ones.
Can there be any other explanation for the Home Secretary’s sweeping advance than her recent speech to the Police Federation?
The more many party members see of Nigel Farage’s party, the less they like it – let alone want a deal with it.
Over three in five are against a deal.
Truly, they are conservative as well as Conservative.
They also believe that Britain is a Christian country – but are more divided on whether or not faith-based organisations should play a larger role.
Fewer than one in six think the opposite.
And, on the day of the second Clegg/Farage debate, opposition to a deal is at its highest yet too.
Which of course means that four in five do not. All the same, for a fifth to want the Scots to leave is worth noting.
