After the great Labour landslide of 1997 the Tories were pushed so far out of the public gaze as to be scarcely visible.
Voters this time were more disgusted with the Conservatives than they were enthused by Labour .
But their anger clearly did not cause them to reject the principles of Conservatism .
Many of them were furious because they believed those principles had been abandoned and traduced.
Roy Jenkins , David Owen and Shirley Williams had more credibility and governing experience than Reform can offer now.
Eventually they merged with the Liberals under the joint leadership of the two Davids Owen and Steel.
That would almost certainly be the model for any Tory-Reform pact.
The Conservatives would simply absorb the Farage message and make it more achievable and widely palatable.
