The conservative party is right wing

How many people, poets even, keep a specialised dictionary in the house?  Use 10 words from one, suggests the NaPoWriMo site.  Yes, I could have found one online I suppose.  Anyway I delved into a dictionary of politics, bought at the start of my student days.  It seemed a good idea at the time as I was studying Politics!  And the end product of today's poetic work is a draft villanelle, one of my favourite of the repeating forms.
It's an attempt to look at the Tories, now and then.
