Some might say Tory inclination shows good sense (5-10)

'good sense' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'some might say tory inclination' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'might' is 'ightm' which is located in the answer.
'tory' could be 'r' (abbreviation for right) and 'r' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'shows' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
