Tories are a “slow down” party rather than a rightist party - hence why they are all pro-gay now but think being pro-trans is going too far (for now). They kind of remind me of the Republican Party in New York when I was a kid - conservative on “law and order” and slightly better on taxes but otherwise slower pace Dems.
I don’t know that Tories thing pro-trans is going to far? Is that what their leader, Carrie Symonds, says?
