Is withdrawing the whip enough for Conway?

After saying he wouldn’t withdraw the whip from Derek Conway last night, Cameron has finally performed the U-Turn and done so now. Good. A night of dithering is better than a decade of it. So all eyes now on Old Bexley & Sidcup Conservative Association (a rather bashful lot, judging by their photo gallery) – will they deselect him? And what do CoffeeHousers think – is withdrawing the whip punishment enough? Or is it time for him to be deselected like Howard Flight was for talking about tax cuts?
