In 1972 B H Abbott stressed that it was not Disraeli but Lord Randolph Churchill who invented the term "Tory democracy", though it was Disraeli who made it an essential part of Conservative policy and philosophy.
1972年，B·H·阿博特（B H Abbott）指出不是迪斯雷利而是伦道夫·丘吉尔勋爵（英语：Lord Randolph Churchill）发明了“托利党民主”（Tory democracy）这个词汇，不过将它变成保守党政策和哲学必要部分的人仍然是迪斯雷利。
