And this think tank are paid by ..... ???
Here, wiki is worth looking at. First three paragraphs:

Onward is a UK-based think tank producing research on economic and social issues. Founded in 2018[1] by Will Tanner and Neil O'Brien, it is chaired by Danny Finkelstein.[2] The founders state that Onward would operate in the mainstream of conservative politics, and is a reaction to the "lack of energy on the centre right". It is explicitly aligned to the Conservative Party and is not a charity.[1]

In October 2020 Onward stated that its advisory board also included Kate Fall, Tom Tugendhat, Kate Rock, John Lamont, James Kanagasooriam, Craig Elder, Martyn Rose, Siobhan Baillie, James O'Shaughnessy, Rupert Harrison, Richard Harrington, Anthony Browne and Claire Coutinho.[2]

According to the Financial Times, Onward was launched in May 2018 at an event in which then Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson and then environment secretary Michael Gove gave speeches, and Onward's stated mission is to generate a "new wave of modernising ideas" and "a fresh kind of politics that reaches out to new groups of people".[3][4]

Further investigation into the names given is interesting, but not very informative...

I doubt it, somehow,
They can vote liberal or green. Conservatives, well, they need to get back to being the nasty party.
