Having acceptable opinions, like a Conservative? (5-8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

right-thinking

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

'a conservative?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'having acceptable opinions' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'acceptable' could be 'in' (as opposed to out, unacceptable) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'like' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for right-thinking that I've seen is " Decent".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
