Tory is the most common colloquial derogatory term for members and supporters of the Conservative Party.The party as a whole is thus referred to as 'the Tories'.Most Conservatives do not call themselves Tories[citation needed].
Historically,the term Tory has been applied in various ways to supporters of the British monarchy.The word comes from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe,modern Irish tóraí — outlaw,robber,from the Irish word tóir,meaning 'pursuit',since outlaws were "pursued men".[2][3]
