However, 'in the cold light of [twilight]', when I stop for a moment (or several) to consider this matter in more detail, two - contrasting - examples, the first 'proving' (or at least verifying) my maxim, the second completely disproving it, come to mind/recollection...
Yes, British *'Tories' do have a long and honourable tradition of 'bucking the ...........' and occasionally, and in considerable numbers even at times, directly opposing their own (governing) party, 'crossing the floor' of the Commons and voting against, and from time to time, 'down', Governmental proposals...
But so do Labourites - and **'conservatives' - in Australia.
*The name/monicker long given to members of the U K Conservative Party. But 'upon third thoughts' so too - though seemingly much less often - do 'Labourites' there...
**Such going under the Liberal/National (parties) 'Coalition'monicker.
