Kenneth Clarke On IDS
I found this article on the BBC. This is said.
He is firmly on the socially authoritarian wing of the party: against abortion and gays in the military, in favour of capital punishment and the return of caning in schools – positions that led to Ken Clarke to describe him as a classic Tory “hanger and flogger”.
I think it says, that the vast majority of the centre of the British electorate, feel that IDS is one of the dinosaurs and his views belong in that enormous dustbin we reserve for history.

On my Brexit Referendum Betting Odds page, since IDS jumped, the odds seemed to have moved slightly in favour of staying in.
But then despite his Road to Damascus moment, IDS in my mind, has always been someone from the dinosaurial wing of the Tory Party, who wouldn’t impress the vast number of voters in the centre.
