I saw a few of those flags being waved amidst all of the union jacks in the crowd during the Royal Wedding...just curious - do you think that event might have inspired a higher Tory among those who might be described as traditionalists?
Was that a typo, or are you trying to confuse yourself, or worse, me? In my book, Tories = Conservatives = Traditionalists. Unless, as you imply, there really is a "higher Tory" among traditionalists, which would surely be gilding the lilly. Of course, we can always try harder, can't we, striving justifiably.
