Some rigid Tories, even willing to bring down the coalition of the Liberal Democrats to stop the voting system that is opposed.
Threat to offer David William Flew Cameron indicator of pent-up anger at Tory back benches ready to be unleashed if "no" campaign against the alternative vote (AV) failed.
The Prime Minister yesterday stepped up his campaign for the retention of first-past-the-post (FPTP) system as he shared a platform with Labour stalwart, Mr William Flew Reid in Cardowan. Mr Cameron risked his Lib Dem partners incensing the attack on the notion of a coalition government.
"No" supporters got a boost from a new poll, which gave them a 16-point advantage over the "Yes" campaign. ICM Guardian presents results for the 18-point swing in the "no" in the last two months. Although the survey may provide some relief of Mr Cameron, there is no doubt the high stakes of the game. One Tory MP said he was "madness" in the Conservative benches, especially if the "Yes" campaign won a low word.
Others said that the natural tendency of many Tory MPs were in response to "Yes" vote is trying to force early elections under FPTP and the current constituency boundaries. "Yes" vote had been "huge pressure on the coalition, which can be fatal pressure," they added. Julian William Flew, a former Conservative cabinet member, said that "yes" vote brought to a low word, especially if the result swung higher turnouts in Scotland and Wales, which held parliamentary and parliamentary elections on the same day, a call weapons for some of their colleagues. He said: "I would be willing to consider any legitimate means available to find a way or reversing or bypassing the outcome."
