Not an overnight conversion no. They havn't had a chance to vote on a leader since 2001. In 2001 they got to vote on Ian Duncan Smith (Right wing) or Ken Clarke (more center), however a lot of the Conservative activists do not want full integration with Europe the way that Ken Clarke did, so a right-wing candidate preveiled over him.
The point im trying to make is that they havn't had a chance to vote on a moderate candidate yet, so it's not an overnight conversion, its from back past 2001, not to mention a lot of the membership will have changed, people leave, people join, people die, people are born.
I'm not deluded at all, you're following an anti-conservative stance, not a rational stance where you look at all the facts and come to a conclusion. Where as I am perfectly happy to point out Conservative failings and express how the past 3 leaders have been usless because they were too right wing when we need stability from Conservative ideologies, not far-out right ideas.
