Admittedly it was 150 years ago and a different Conservative party and a different House of Commons, but maybe some of today's Conservative supporters are daydreaming about the tail end of John Stuart Mill's well-known comment:

"Now, if any party, in addition to whatever share it may possess of the ability of the community, has nearly the whole of its stupidity, that party, I apprehend, must by the law of its constitution be the stupidest party. And I do not see why honourable Gentlemen should feel that position at all offensive to them; for it ensures their being always an extremely powerful party… there is a dense solid force in sheer stupidity—such, that a few able men, with that force pressing behind them, are assured of victory in many a struggle; and many a victory the Conservative party have owed to that force."
