Any Right of Centre Party is described by the media as "Conservative". Even the members and Politicians of such Parties refer to themselves and I assume believe themselves, to be Conservatives.
Surely there should be some criteria by which to judge if a Political Party is really Conservative or not?
Well here are five and to be a true Conservative Party it must have all five. it must be:
1. Socially Conservative
2. Fiscally Conservative
3. Economically Conservative
4. Loyal to it's own People
5. Loyal to it's own Heritage
What do they mean?
Socially Conservative means that the family, consisting of one Man/Husband and one Women/Wife with their children be encouraged and supported. That everything to done to support them and that as little as possible be done to harm them. That the family is the basic unit in society, it built the past and it will build the future.
Fiscally Conservative means balance the budget! Either reduce spending or increase taxes, but balance the budget. The idea that Conservatives only support lower taxes is counter productive because it is a slogan not good policy. Good policy says that if people want more services then they should pay more tax to support it, if they want tax cuts then services should be curtained. Living in debt cannot last and Conservatives should never support it.
Economically Conservative means that the economy is not about money or the stockmarket, certainly they have their place. A Conservative economy puts the creation of wealth and the creation and maintenance of male employment as it's highest priorities.
Loyal to it's own People means that it opposes foreign armies, banks, investors, and any others from dominating. That they may have their place if appropriate but that the Nation remains the property of the Nation. That also means opposing mass immigration, Multiculturalism and Diversity. All of which are designed to destroy the People.
Loyal to it's own heritage means that they do not believe in the tyranny of the living, that the dead and those yet unborn are as much a part of the nation as the living. Once we were unborn, now we live and one day we shall be dead, and that the future, the present and the past are indivisible, part of the same continuum. But heritage is not just people, it is also buildings, art, literature, culture and language. It is also law and our traditional form of Government. For those countries with a Monarchical tradition, part of our heritage is the Monarchy.
When those who claim to be Conservative cannot support these five criteria then you can be certain that they are not really Conservative at all.

When do you think we last had a conservative government in this country. Menzies ?
Mr. Stamp
DeleteThe Menzies Government continued the policy of mass immigration of non-British peoples, that is not Conservative.
I do not think any Democractic country has had a Conservative Government since the 1920's....and even they were Liberal. Australia's last Conservative Prime Minister was Mr. Stanley Bruce.
Mark Moncrieff
I think you summed it up nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe dominant ideology in the West, and this has probably been so since the end of WWII, is liberalism. The majority of those that claim to be 'conservative' are nothing more than 'business liberals'. Their main interest is the economy and maintaining economic growth. They have little interest in conserving the moral and cultural fabric of our society, or the long-term survival of the Australian nation.
