The Tories didn't support the Education Bill because it was right, they supported it because they had a new angle of attack on Tony Blair. If the Tories were so minded how come they haven't supported Labour on many more issues, yet opposed Labour on nearly every issue? Politically naive statment Cyfr. The Tories are there as effective opposition to hold the executive to account.
