David Cameron, the Conservative prime minister, and Nick Clegg, his Liberal Democrat deputy, in effect killed off two beneficial constitutional reforms. In doing so, the pair weakened the government and greatly harmed both their parties' political prospects. If they lose power at the next election, the Tories could well wonder what possessed them in the summer of 2012. The starting point was a government bill that would have made the House of Lords smaller and largely elected. Liberal Democrats are keen on this reform. Many Conservative MPs loathe it, partly because the Lib Dems are so enthusiastic, partly because they suspect an elected Lords would challenge the primacy of the House of Commons. In May many Tory backbenchers, including some who are generally placid, rebelled by voting against the bill. Concluding that it is impossible to win them over, the prime minister has backed down.
