The Conservative Party need not lose power in the next election. It has at least two ways of achieving this:
1) Promise power to the SNP in a coalition.
2) Allow Scotland to gain independence, removing Scottish (opposition) representation from the Westminster parliament.
It might be venal, and expedient, but it maintains the Conservative Party as the party of government where it counts, as far as the Conservative Party are concerned. Betraying the roots of the 'Conservative and Unionist Party' is nothing compared to everything else that has gone on.
