Make Me a Tory


Make Me a Tory is a 2007 British authored documentary film directed by Daniel Cormack for Channel 4.

Setting off on a journey around the country to meet Conservatives, he starts by revisiting his alma mater, Oxford University where he first met people who were actually Conservatives. He is invited to a Port and Policy debate the Oxford equivalent of setting the world to rights over a few beers held by the Oxford University Conservative Association, but despite a lively and at times provocative debate about David Camerons leadership as well as large amounts of Port he finds himself just as unconvinced by the Oxford Conservatives as in his student days.Traveling onwards, Daniel goes litter picking with the gungho teenage Tories of the Wirral and is impressed by their altruism, lack of cynicism and sense of civic responsibility even if the groups leader has nicknamed her car Maggie. Back in South London, Daniel is invited to a dinner party hosted by the chair of the local Conservative Future branch, Claire Hilley. Over dinner, a heated argument breaks out over the legacy of Thatcher between the ardent believers in her policies and those more in tune with David Camerons compassionate Conservatism, leaving Daniel to ponder whether this schism in the party will manifest itself in a Conservative government. ........
