Exactly... there has been a new breed of Conservatives up here, much like the neo-con or social conservative movement in the US. Some of 'old Tories' are pretty disgusted at this newer ideology, and worried about the general damage they can inflict.

I wouldn't lump the neo-cons with the social conservatives; I'd say they are two seperate movements.

No problem - I'd still say, though, that it's not the neo-cons who feel that way, it's the social conservatives. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own interpretation.
