Well of course I didn't always agree with every aspect of the Tory party in those 46 years, but unlike blazey stayed and made my feelings known from the inside. I still support the Tory party because the principles haven't changed that much over time,maybe moved more to the centre ground of politics, unlike the Labour Party who sold every principle they ever had to become electable, in the form of New Labour.
