There's absolutely nothing "evil" about that, but it's not a platform that I'm comfortable supporting.

It rather works the other way too. Socially liberal back benchers with private members bills would be given more options to introduce their policies as well. And frankly, no matter how badly one buys into the "Hidden agenda" rhetoric, such bills that fall toward the extremes in either direction will have no shot at passing, even in a Conservative majority. You're pissing in the wind on this one.
