Depends what you mean when you say a 'true' right wing party.
If you mean a party that believes in small 'g' government, low taxation and not too much regulation, then yes, I'd vote for them in an instant.
In fact, thinking about it, I'd say I'm a political ***, in that I would vote for any party that allowed me to keep more of my money, If that meant voting for Labour, even with the clowns of Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott, then I would.

To be fair AOG we probably do need a definition of true right given there is so much misuse of the term far-right (seems to mean anyone who is not a liberal elitist)
For me it would be the Tory party of old before the liberal elite took a hold but not the National Front or whoever they are these days.

The country is run on Taxes it gains from the people, if they reduced the money they received then there would be less to run the country.
Now if they were to cut overseas aid, allow less people into the country (obviously those who fail to contribute) get more people into work and less on benefits. etc etc then perhaps you would be able to hold on to more of your money.
But then these are true Right-Wing answers, so I suppose to some they would not be popular for those on the Left.

"I’d be interested in their manifesto ?"
I shouldn't trouble yourself, Anne. The two main parties (who gained 80% of the Parliamentary seats between them) were both elected on a manifesto of ensuring the UK leaves the EU and that was less than two years ago. It now seems that between them they are reneging on their respective pledges (albeit for different reasons) when there is absolutely no justification for them to do so.
As far as a true right-wing government goes, there is absolutely no chance of such a choice being presented to the electorate and even less chance of it being taken. Political parties (well, those that have a chance of forming a government) are scared witless of upsetting a few people. They attempt to please all of the people a little bit each and end up pleasing nobody at all. Most voters seem to crave a "Centrist" government in case one leaning either side of the middle might upset them too much Being a little to the right of Attila the Hun myself I have had nobody to vote for in almost thirty years. I have consigned myself to voting for the mob I dislike the least. Following this latest debacle I doubt I'll stir myself to do that in future. I might be washing my hair that day.
