Aahh Mavis ! I compliment you on your ability to plagirise an extract from Wikipedia, quite convincing ! Your premise however that there are only three types of Tories is of course entirely of your own fabrication and I find it as amusing as it is inaccurate.
However, that said, an amusing post as misguided as it is.

You fall into three types: Rich, wannabe rich, or massively credulous.
Massively credulous: well, too stupid to argue with, poor, oppressed by the Tories, feeds the hand that bites it, so to speak.
Wannabe rich: see the power and wealth of their betters and masters, and want to get in on the act. Servile, supplicant scum, who will crawl over their dying grandmother to clutch at the next hand hold on the greasy pole. Utterly reprehensible.
The Rich: The real Tories. Hooray Henries singing "Rah Rah Rah, we're going to smash the oiks", perpetuating their position on centuries of privilege, inbred to the point of idiocy. It's strange that because some warrior took land by force 800 years ago, leading to 'ownership' of this land, that the elite, now short of manpower and arms, choose the rule of law to state that you can't take away that privilege because doing it by force wouldn't be fair any more. It's like Chelsea fans getting annoyed by Man City, utter hypocrisy. Utterly self serving class whose only ambition for the nation is to have it run 'properly', i.e by people with no chins and Harris Tweed.
I find it odd that the great British intellectual elite are so very often left leaning, non land grabbing. Ragged Trousered Philanthropists if you will.
The right produced such gems as Winston Churchill, a fat drunk who was born in a palace, failed military exams as an officer, shot "savages" in both India (and Pakistan as now) and Africa, was party to the creation of the first concentration camps in which women and children died by tens of thousands, was an utter disaster as First Lord of the Admiralty, see Galipoli, before entering politics. He flitted between whichever political party suited his needs and to get power.
He believed in the right and superiority of the Aryan race
He set the Black and Tans on Ireland
He approved use of poison gas on Kurds
He allowed MILLIONS to die of starvation in Bengal
Called Ghandi a "half naked Fakir" despite him being eminently more educated than Churchill, and wished he would be trampled to death by an elephant.
He was in favour of Sufferage though.
He is the epitome of a Tory, and anyone who willingly aligns themselves to that ideal is almost invariably, one of the above.
