Correct. Mostly senior politicians of ALL major parties ( so that could theoretically be a mix of tories, labour, snp, lib-dem, dup, sinn fein, plaid, green, sdp (if anyone is still alive), independent etc.) across the floor of either House of Parliament; plus some religious leaders, some British and also non-British judges and a few other people. Bit of a mixed bag because if all your advisors agree on everything you probably need new advisors.
So we keep the Tory bias until they no longer make up majority of both the commons and the lords. Because if you have a pool of people to pull from and most of them are Tories you’re likely to end up with a Tory.
The leaders of the opposition and the third party are not Tories, none of the governments of Wales, Scotland nor Northern Ireland are Tory. The church leaders aren’t Tories and nor are the judges. Under these circumstances it’s quite hard to stack the deck entirely in your own favour. Plus, even if everybody in the privy council was Tory they’d still not be able to agree on anything anyway.
