	Conservative Party - A Brief History of the Conservative Party
		The continuous modern history of the Conservative Party begins with the era of Disraeli, and he has perhaps the strongest amongst the many claims to be regarded as its founding father.
		Disraeli's government of 1874-1880 was a landmark in Conservative fortunes, and its domestic measures widened its appeal to the urban lower and middle classes.
		No longer the defender of the landed and aristocratic elite alone, the Conservative Party was becoming a national presence with an appeal to all communities, and it was this combination which led to its first period of dominance, from 1886 to 1906.

		Formed in 1983, the IDU says it's a "working association of over 80 Conservative, Christian Democrat and like minded political parties of centre and centre right." Some of the political party members of the IDU include the German Christian Social Union; British Conservative Party; Norway Conservative Party - and the U.S. Republican Party.
		With the Republican Party as an active member, it would certainly be expected that American documents and principles would be the basis of policy for an international organization that declares it promotes "free enterprise, free trade and private property."
		And this is the root of the IDU, and by association, apparently the Republican Party.

		The Conservatives have some good people, and their principles are ok, but many decades of Labor dominance seem to have given them a social democratic frame of reference.
		Anyway, I think that even though there is no denying that the conservatives have "strayed from the true path", one shouldnt forget the fact that they are in coalition with two other less conservatives parties, and the christians peoples party has found sly ways to strongly limit the amount of conservative legislation passed.
		Now however, the conservatives are stuck with the uneasy task of finding ways to fill the gaps in the budget due to all the additional welfare imposed by the christian peoples party, and I think its an unfair role that the conservatives should not have to play...

		Now that the parishioners of the United Church of Christ in Denver have given their wholehearted approval to their pastor's intent to leave his wife and children, in order to "pursue a homosexual lifestyle," the stage is set for the next act--that is, marriages of public figures (other than "entertainers") of the same sex.
		We learn from the Associated Press (1/16/02) that Norway's Conservative Party Finance Minister, Per-Kristian Foss, has married his male lover Jan Erik Knarbakk--to the applause and approval of his political party, and presumably many of its constituents.
		Kurt Krickler, co-chairman of the group's European chapter, said Foss' marriage was a breakthrough for tolerance by the Christian Democrats and the Conservatives.
