If there is a first-past-the-post electoral system imposed on the people by an establishment party of the right then the natural reaction is to oppose this. Not to have full democracy is a form of slavery which means that voters will be inclined to protect themselves from this injustice, since they value themselves not below their masters. From the Tory point of view to vote for Labour is to disrupt their plans and to cause damage to the Tory-owned state.
The left are logically trying to protect themselves from electoral slavery and the right are trying to impose (or maintain) the system of semi-democratic slavery.
