Do justice to the conservatives (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

right

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'do justice' is the first definition.
'right' can be an answer for 'justice' (right is a kind of justice). I'm not sure about the 'do' bit.

'the conservatives' is the second definition.
(right-wing people)

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for right that I've seen before include "Correct; proper" , "Correct; appropriate" , "Correct - claim allowed" , "Girth (anag)" , "''The customer is always .....''" .)
