We have our own Tories now. They’re called Independent Ireland, and they also include those Independents who are too independent even for Independent Ireland.

While they probably wouldn’t welcome those comparisons to the UK’s Conservative Party, our growing tribe of Independents are basically saying the things that that benighted party and their like-minded “conservatives” in the US have been saying for about 10 years now with, eh... hilarious results.
