David Cameron may have to emphasise the partisan consequences of a divided Tory party to his MPs if he is to get through this Parliament

David Cameron won a General Election majority against seemingly insurmountable odds in May 2015. But given the recent history of the Conservative Party, it looks possible that divisions over Europe and other issues could make the road to 2020 a bumpy one. Christopher D. Raymond argues that given the nature of the issues at stake and the Conservative majority, the Prime Minister’s best bet may be to emphasise party label and the partisan consequences of voting against the whip if he is to get through the next five years unscathed.
