The opposers of Conseravatism frequently use the label "Tory"

Have a read: [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tory ]Wikipedia - Tory[/url]

It almost sounds like a term of abuse at times because its always used sneeringly, but people do funny things with language

EG. A word used to describe a traveller is now regarded as racist. I even got banned for using it. Weird!
