It’s hard to tell without a scorecard but does anybody know where on the American political spectrum the Tories sit?

I get the impression they are not very conservative as we would understand it, but they are not fully on board with the transnational erasure of national sovereignty.

With monarchy, Ulster and an apparent cultural approval of conformity, I don’t think they are much like us at all. Apples and oranges to use the cliche.

Seeing that the NHS and some businesses are still “nationalized”, many would make great Democrats.

Most of them are to the left of the GOP-e right now. David Cameron calls himself a “liberal conservative”, so he might be in “dummyrat” territory.

Liberal, but there are old guard elements of conservatism who were pissed about Cameron shoving through homosexual marriage.

This May or may not help with understanding. UKIP, a political party appears to be successfully challenging the Tory, Labour hegemony that wreaked chaos on the island nation. Nigel Farage is a charismatic politician currently in the EU parliament and with UKIP, a political shooting star. Defying every attempt to undermine Farage's popularity, the following documentary attempts to put UKIP and Farage in a negative light and fails miserably. About an hour in length, worth your time.
