Unfortunately, however, the air is full of magic solutions, many of them from the far right. Recall of MPs, referendums on just about everything, free votes on just about everything, and of course various schemes such as proportional representation, long a favourite of the left, now embraced by some on the right, to fiddle with the electoral system. This misses the point, which is that government has slipped away from its parliamentary moorings and needs to be brought back into a relationship of accountability to the House of Commons. You read and hear a lot about the centralization of power in the PMO and PCO, and most of it is true. And the House of Commons has no less constitutional power over the government than it ever had.
Conservatives know that it is up to MPs to reclaim their authority.
The place to start is by exercising the ancient power of the purse. It would take only a relative handful of government backbenchers in league with the Opposition to make this happen. Progressive Conservatives should work to improve public awareness that the real issue is Parliament's duty to hold the government accountable and responsible. There are other challenges as well. Parliament has to recognize in a responsible way the challenge it faces from judicial action.
