There are no actual conservatives in British politics. Just various forms of totalitarian socialists.

Contrary to popular opinion, Britain has always been hostile to freedom. It was a pure monarchy, that eventually had to somewhat share power with the richest nobility within that system.
They didn’t gain anything like a vote until 1867, and later in the 1880s when land ownership requirements were slightly lowered.
Over half of the British soldiers in WWI did not have the right to vote.

They have no constitution and have never had an enforceable right to free speech.

It’s amazing people think of them as some sort of bastion of freedom.
