Sentence: "You can get a good job in/at Tories/Conservative party"

My question: Which preposition, in or at, would be grammatically correct to use in the sentence? I said the above thing sarcastically to someone.


Thanks and regard :)

Thanks for your comment. English is really a bizarre language, I mean the prepositions and the articles, isn't it? :-D
 
Yeah, there are a lot of cases that I am not familiar with regarding the proper use of the mentioned;
And if the right preposition is asked to join the verb so as to work together..then I many times simply have to give up.

I hope you are sure about my case! :) Would anyway like any teacher to confirm this. Hope you won't mind.:)

Prepositions present a big challenge to the learner.
