Factions in the Conservative Party

Interesting view and, particularly, analysis of the factions within the party from Tim Montgomerie:

The Tory Party's two modernising factions need to find common ground with the more traditionalist grouping. There will only be infighting and no progress if one group seeks to defeat the others. Particularly important is the need for the 'Soho modernisers' - seeking a more tolerant party - to secure a settlement with the 'Easterhouse modernisers' - who want to rebuild social justice and the social fabric.

I am not sure where the Notting Hill set fit into this. Further explanation of the factions would be welcome.

Tim Montgomerie's manifesto is here.
