Cameron losing the plot

I have been of the opinion that the Tories have got the next election wrapped up for a while now but Cameron seems to have lost the plot. In order to artificially boost the number of women candidates in elections he is bringing in new rules to ensure that two of the last four candidates shortlisted must be women.

Labour has become synonymous with arbitrary quotas and positive discrimination and it is widely recognised as one of their many, many serious faults. The Tories emulating one of Labour's worst traits is a surefire way of losing an election.
