List of British conservatives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by AlanNova (talk | contribs) at 18:21, 24 May 2024 (Intellectuals, philosophers and historians: year of birth error). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

British conservatism refers to a political and philosophical tradition in the United Kingdom that emphasizes the preservation of established institutions,[1] the rule of law, gradual societal change, traditionalism[2] British Unionism,[3] loyalism, euroscepticism,[4] a free market economy,[5] individualism[6] and a strong belief in personal responsibility.

Along with liberalism and socialism, it is one of the major political ideologies in the UK.

Entries on the list must have achieved notability after the writing of Reflections on the Revolution in France which is often seen as the starting point of conservatism.[7]
