Well, my principal objection was to "rather than making more laws", which really hasn't been true for decades. The lack of respect for the actual law has taken a bit longer to develop, although the seeds were there in the 80s.
Unconservative in the old sense, but full of rabid Thatcherites (the only people left in the party who were still willing to work with Johnson). Before Thatcher, the Conservative party had been largely suspicious of ideology; she was an ideologue, and the fight between her ideological followers and the old pragmatists has been one of the principal themes of the last four and a half decades. Which @greentricky described succinctly.
