I believe the answer is:

loyalist

(Other definitions for loyalist that I've seen before include "One true to monarch or government" , "Supporter of union between G Britain and N Ireland" , "One true to a cause" , "Government supporter, cavalier changing sides" , "Patriotic supporter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
