A modest proposal

The Conservatives believe that a hung parliament would be bad for Britain.

There's a simple solution to that.

If they removed themselves from the race then the chances of the result not being clear-cut would drop to near-zero.

That depends on the definition of "fair". All competitions have rules, but usually the boundary of those rules is different to what is considered "fair".

Ideally, I would like everyone who votes to consider the options and make an informed choice, but that is sadly far from the reality of the situation. The Tories are simply seizing a means to gain more votes. What they are doing is within the rules of the contest, but not what I would call fair.
