I have seen Tories recently complaining about the electoral system and how it affects their chances, but I've suckered in by that one before, only to discover their remedy is something utterly bizarre and anti-democratic. A year or so ago, someone - IIRC, Iain Dale - was proposing that the Boundary Commission should take account of past turnout as well as population when determining electoral boundaries...

And even though the system punches them in the face on a regular basis, they still cling to it because it's their only hope of absolute power, rather than a system where they might have to *gasp* share power, compromise and negotiate.
