Im not so sure I can believe that. When he was elected as leader he was clearly a "compassionate Conservative" if you will. He was elected by the grass roots, over 2/3 of them voted for him over the ring-wing Thatcherite policies of David Davis. And these are the "Old Torys" voting as people who joined the party just before Cameron was elected (Like me) didn't get to vote as you have to be a member for 6months.
Unfortunately as Politics goes you will always hear lots of a noise from a small minority, such as that of grammar schools. In reality when you wipe away the media gloss its not quite so hardcut. The press just love to blow things out of proportion, it gets them money.
