Cameron, the young leader of the British Conservative Party, is anything but a conservative. Since John Major’s Prime Ministership, there has been a role reversal in British politics. As hard as it is to understand from here, the Conservatives are more liberal than the liberal Labourites. Cameron’s policies range from an Al Gorian devotion to global warming to a dogmatic opposition to Thatcherite conservatism that leave him somewhere on the political scale between Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton. On that same scale, Gordon Brown is probably somewhere between Lindsay (McCain lite) Graham and Arlen Specter. What to expect?

The British Conservative Party is a fringe political party in England. The party nominally exists in Scotland and Wales, but has struggle since the regional governments of the two countries passed the No Tories This Side Of The Border Act, where being Conservative is now punishable by hanging. When first put forward as a political party following the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, conservative candidates were often laughed at and had cow dung flung at them, though this soon stopped when the butch wing of the party moved in and put a stop to all dissent.

Most American conservatives make this mistake, assuming that the British Conservative Party is similar to the Republican Party of the United States. The Republican party today stands for change and reform and is constantly coming up with new ideas. It is a party of overt positive thinking, where as the British Conservatives stand against any and all change. The party learned nothing from Thatcher, and stands now, as it usually has, against any change at all. While yes, they did support the war, they would be unable to carry the people with them in the cause.

The modern British Conservative Party ran the United Kingdom for nearly 20 years, beginning with Margaret Thatcher's victory for the Party in 1979. She came into office facing a British economy that had been crippled by industrial disputes, strikes, high unemployment, and collapsing public services, especially during the so-called 'Winter of Discontent' of 1978-9. Mrs. Thatcher turned that around, broke the iron grip of the trade unions, and restored the British economy to a free enterprise system that has thrived to this day. She was succeeded by John Major in 1990, and, to the surprise of the media, Major won the general election in 1992 and extended the Conservative Party's power until 1997.

The Conservative Party will encourage in industry the highest level of efficient production and the most effective partnership between owners, executives and operatives. To day all forms of production and distribution are hampered in a Socialist atmosphere which denies enterprise its reward while making life too easy for the laggards. Monopoly and bureaucracy should give place to competition and enterprise. All enterprises, large and small, should have a fair field.
