His Grace is quite right. Maggie was a Whig, not a Tory, (no one who destroyed so many time hallowed institutions could possibly be regarded as a Tory).

On topic, I must say the neocons' misuse of liberal annoys me greatly, since there is a fine right of center liberal tradition and these jonny come lately's with their weird obsessions should be told to get their anti-abortion demonstrations off its lawn. In fact, if I am asking myself if I approve of a politican or not, I think more in terms of authoritarian (bad) vs liberal (good) rather than left and right. I'd vote for an intelligent new labourite (Hilary benn say) before I voted for a bible bashing busybody like Ann Widdecome.
