There are certainly some people in the Conservative Party who want the votes of those who are pro-sovereignty but these types in the ranks of the Conservative Party do not want to defend the nation's powers from being snatched by the EU.
Yet these europhile impostors in the Conservative Party who want eurosceptic and anti-EU votes do not seem to have realised that the Conservative Party has not actually won a General Election since the formation of UKIP (hundreds of thousands of former Conservatives are among the 600, 000+ who voted UKIP at the last General Election).
As I wrote earlier today on the forum, the Conservatives have won the anti-EU vote many times but since Major forced the EU Maastricht Treaty through in the early 1990's part of that vote has moved to UKIP. In other words Heath and Major are responsible for making it more difficult for their own party getting the votes needed to win a majority of the seats in the House of Commons at a General Election.
