I think it's quite possibly both; even Tories can take a principled stand, and if that happens to advance his own position, win-win. Which is why I'm aghast, because I regard Cameron as the lesser of two people-I-really-don't-want-in-No.-10.
And yes, I'd just about come round to "don't fight the by-election" myself. I fear they won't have the nerve.
