Just trying to remember how a Conservative's mind works

Ross

I believe the answer is:

right-thinking

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

'a conservative's mind works' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'just trying to remember' is the wordplay.
'just' becomes 'right' ('right' can be similar in meaning to 'just').
'trying' becomes 'ing' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'remember' becomes 'think' ('think' can be a synonym of 'remember').
'ing' put after 'think' is 'thinking'.
'right'+'thinking'='RIGHT-THINKING'

'how' is the 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 Irish Times.
