How can he call others’ views extreme when the majority voted against his - surely this shows that in the electorate’s minds his are the extreme views and theirs are the normative ones!

No kidding. He seems to have gotten confused and joined the wrong party.
The Tories are doomed to defeat RIGHT NOW because UKIP is taking 10%+ of their base vote because they aren't conservative ENOUGH. Mr. Yeo is living in a dream world if he thinks the party can make up the difference by going left. I'm glad people in his constituency decided to get rid of him.
