Maybe it is a case of Tory arrogance not taking into account public opinion.

As you well know it's a private members bill, not that of the Conservative party. It's not up to David Cameron whether to 'allow' it. You know that the national Conservatives under David Cameron support the minimum wage, and you know that the local Conservatives in Hyndburn do too. The motion was nothing more than posturing as Mr Britcliffe put it.
It's quite rich that in today's climate the Labour party would accuse anybody of not understanding public opinion!
