Tory (British political party)

The Conservative Party, often called the Tories, is a major political party in the UK that generally promotes free-market economics, individual responsibility, and traditional values. They tend to support policies that encourage economic growth through business and reduce government intervention. The party also emphasizes national security, strong defense, and maintaining the country's institutions. Historically, they have played a central role in British politics, often advocating for gradual change rather than rapid reform. The Tories appeal to voters who favor stability, fiscal responsibility, and a marketplace-based economy, and they are one of the two main parties alongside the Labour Party.
