Oh. Right.
Glad you sorted that one out! I guess theres not much of a come back to write, as you've clearly made up your own mind through speaking with the few hundred thousand Conservative activists, and deemed they only voted him in to get in to power. Even though thousands more have joined the Conservative party after the election of Cameron showing they joined for his Compassionate Conservativsm.
If a party wins on a manifesto they have a duty to uphold that manifesto, the Lords will try to ensure that a party in power dosn't go against it's manifesto (Like they did when they put forward an amendment to the ID card scheme, to ensure it wasn't mandatory, because Labours manifesto said they would not be mandatory.)
The opposition will oppose things which go against the governments manifesto too, because they're there to scruitinise. Heck, even the governing parties own MP's will, because they have a conscience.
