Perfect partner for the Tories? (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mr right

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

'perfect partner' is the definition.
'mr right' can be an answer for 'partner' (I have seen 'Ideal partner' mean 'mr right' so perhaps 'partner' could also mean 'mr right'). I am not sure about the 'perfect' bit.

'tories?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'tories?' could be 'right' and 'right' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mr' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mr right that I've seen before include "Ideal future husband" , "Ideal man" , "Utopian potential husband?" , "Perfect man (for someone)" , "version of An Ideal Husband?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
