One of the charges most frequently levelled at the Tory shadow cabinet is that their commitment to the cause isn’t quite great enough; that they lack the same out-of-power-obsessiveness that drove New Labour between 1994 and 1997. Revelations about second jobs and the like have often made this argument quite persuasive.
