Reminds me of a politician who called himself "severely conservative."
For many decades, a ‘conservative’ political party in Canada was known as the ‘Progressive Conservative Party’ (PCs). THAT name was a pet peeve of mine, that made as much sense as being an ‘agnostic Christian’ (something the United Church of Canada’s General Council seem adept at doing).
Fifteen years ago, the Reform Party of Canada, a more conservative splinter from the PCs, merged with the PCs, creating the ‘Conservative Party of Canada’. At least it is more ‘conservative’ than the old PC Party. Some ‘Red Tories’, or left leaning PCs moved to the Liberal or New Democratic Parties.
