Whenever the Conservatives have been a Tory party - conserving & protecting the British realm & its people - the more electorally dominant the Right has been. Only Tories breach Red Walls. The British future of Red Tories and Blue Labour should be interesting & good for Britain. 
No one is voting Conservative in the British heartland because of Thatcher or privatisation or some dead Austrian economist. The Conservatives are winning because they, finally, repudiated Thatcher, as well as the dead consensus on Europe. The Conservatives are winning as Tories
The greatest threat to the Conservative is listening to the Whigs, who should never have been allowed into the party. The idiotic, indulgent, parasitic, Oxbridge, spiv class of Whigs, who almost ruined Britain in the 19thC. The Whigs have always been Britain's true enemy within.
Benjamin Disraeli, one of the greatest Britons as well as possibly the greatest Tory, warned his party, repeatedly, of the malignancy of the Whigs, their foppish disdain for anything but money & themselves, and their threat to the territorial constitution of the Britain union.
In this moment of apparent Tory success, everyone who is a Tory - whether your ancestors wore the white cockade or you recently joined the faithful - must remain on guard against the Whigs, their spivvish insidiousness, and their capacity to hand power to the worst people. GSTQ.
