I have always thought that for many Tories the good of the Conservative Party is one and same as the good of the country.
I think there are several different ways of holding that view including believing that doing what is right for the Conservative Party will automatically result in doing the right thing for the country through to the less wholesome belief that the *real* people and the *real* country is the natural Conservative voter.
I've never had any doubt that May was a genuine patriot but not a patriot of the same country as me.
