Tory Boy

Tory Boy

Tory Boy was a character in a sketch by comedian Harry Enfield which portrayed a young, male, Conservative MP. The term has since been used as a caricature of young Convervative MPs.

The Tory Boy stereotype of a young Conservative MP has damaged some politicians. William Hague struggled to shake off the stereotype.
