  • there must be some people who support Tories because they believe X policy will have a positive impact on Y

    Yes of course.

    I don't know many small c Conservatives - the ones I can think of don't have any rational other than identifying as conservative voters, with some sort of notion that they are better on the economy and societal values.

    Most of the Tories I know are economic convertives with libertarian tendencies (in the British traditional rather than the new alt-righty US version).

    They believe relatively low taxes and free markets owned by private enterprise creates the greatest wealth to society. They believe the Tories are best placed to do this. They also believe restricting the power of the state ensures the best protection to civil liberties.
