Tory
Question Author
Thank you Calibax- that is not the answer I was expecting- but it checks out! So cheers for that.
//The word Tory derives from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe; modern Irish tóraí; modern Scottish Gaelic Tòraidh: outlaw, robber or brigand, from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit", since outlaws were "pursued men". ... Those who were not prepared to exclude James were labelled "Abhorrers" and later "Tories".//
Yes, not exactly a modern party, having been superseded by the Conservatives but the term is still used to describe (especially right-wing) Conservatives, often pejoratively.
