Liberalism in the Tory Party

Isn't it amazing the way people can differ in how they see things.  In the Guardian Polly Toynbee is arguing that liberalism in the Tory Party is effectively dead.  It was a thought that had me almost choking in disbelief:  http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/30/tories-ukip-david-cameron-europhobic-right

I am currently reading The Establishment by Owen Jones.  He tells us that Thatcherism is everywhere triumphant.  It is an assertion that has me asking what planet is this guy on.

If the Tory Party has moved so decisively to the right why are MPs defecting to UKIP?
