	Conservative Party - News Story - Fox: Security and Defence – Making sense of the special relationship
		The resolution of the tension between America's international obligations and its refusal to become an imperial power, and the resolution of the conflict between the unipolar and multipolar models - the resolution I say of both is, in the end, the same: it is the Special Relationship between Britain and America.
		The Conservatives will continue to press our Government about the clarity of the objectives of the mission, the rules of engagement and whether the deployment is, in fact, large enough.
		Unless a new direction is given to British policy, one which reduces the obligation to look always to European procurement options rather than simply the best available option for British military needs, America may not be able to count on Britain, if the rest of the EU refuses support for US policy.

	McGillicuddy Serious Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party had a strong Scottish theme, and the kilt was considered to be one of the party's symbols.
		The party sometimes became the subject of aggression from unexpected quarters — in 1990 Green party candidate Warrick Pudney challenged his Te Atatu rival to a paper-sword fight in Aotea Square (the fight was declared a draw, both combatants were treated for paper cuts).
		Party candidates for election were at one point selected through trial by combat, with newspaper swords and water balloons, the loser of the combat becoming the candidate.

		The roots of the party are in the pre-confederation coalition government of 1854 the parti bleu of George-Ãtienne Cartier (see also Quebec Conservative Party) and Ontario liberals and conservatives led by John A. MacDonald.
		It was out of this coalition that the Liberal-Conservative Party (generally known as the Conservative Party) was formed and it was this period that formed the basis for confederation in 1867.
		The Conservatives under Macdonald returned to power in 1878 by opposing the Liberal Party's policy of free trade or reciprocity with the United States and promoting, instead, the National Policy which sought to promote business and develop industry with protectionist measures as well as settle and develop the west.

	Imperial Ambitions: How Britain Won and Lost the World - Council on Foreign Relations
		The real reason, Ferguson writes, "was their essentially conservative reaction against a succession of British interferences with Indian culture, which seemed to— and in many ways actually did— add up to a plot to Christianize India." The mutineers acted with great savagery, killing many British civilians, including women and children.
		British troops responded in kind; a favorite punishment for captured mutineers was to be tied to a cannon and blown to pieces.
		British rule conferred many benefits: It made trade easier, life safer, and it built lots of valuable infrastructure, remnants of which can be glimpsed today from Capetown to New Delhi.

	British Conservative Party election manifesto, 1950
		The policy of the Conservative Party, expressed in "The Right Road for Britain" is to restore to our country her economic independence and to our citizens their full personal freedom and power of initiative.
		British agriculture is expected to provide, on a long-term basis, an efficient output at least half as large again as that of pre-war.
		The Conservative aim is not enviously to suppress success, but to release energy and enterprise: not maliciously to sow distrust, but to create unity; not to pursue a doctrinaire and ill-considered theory, but to enable the British people to lead their traditional way of life.

	Conservative Party - News Story - 300 years of British Gibraltar
		Conservative leaders Michael Howard and Michael Ancram have flown to Gibraltar to join in The Rock's celebrations of 300 years of being British.
		The two party chiefs linked up with Governor Sir Richard Francis, Chief Minister Peter Caruana, and Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, to attend a series of events marking the historic anniversary, while the Spanish government in Madrid accused the UK of clinging to its imperial past.
		Spain has continued to campaign to end British rule of the colony since it was first seized in 1704, and Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos described official UK support of the celebrations as unfriendly and insensitive to another EU member state.

	British Conservatives Must Defend the U.S.–U.K. Special Relationship
		British and American conservatives are committed to many of the same values and ideals on the world stage: the defense of national sovereignty, the projection of military power to confront tyranny and threats to international security, the advancement of free trade, and the protection of human rights.
		As the Conservatives move closer to Downing Street, there is growing interest among Washington policymakers in the Conservative Party’s foreign policy positions, in particular those concerning issues that have a direct bearing on the United States.
		Condemnation by the Party’s leadership of Israeli military operations in Lebanon as “disproportionate” provoked a backlash not only among Conservative supporters in Britain, but also widespread unease in Washington, where it was viewed as a huge shift in policy as well as a sharp jab at U.S. support for Israel.

		With it came a loss of faith in the superiority of British civilisation and the spread of the heretical idea that a British empire that denied self-determination to peoples of colour was no longer morally defensible.
		The Republican party, which had presided over America’s rise to manufacturing pre-eminence, has acquiesced in the deindustrialisation of the nation to gratify transnational corporations whose oligarchs are the party’s financiers.
		Historically, Republicans have been the party of the conservative virtues of balanced budgets, of a healthy scepticism towards foreign wars, of a commitment to traditional values and fierce resistance to the growth of government power and world empire.

	Comment on Why the British 'Conservative' party is not a political party at all \| Samizdata.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		However, the Conservative party is no longer in formal alliance with the main Unionist party in Northern Ireland (and has not been for many years) and whilst, in theory, the Conservative party organizes in Northern Ireland it does not really pay the place much heed.
		My point about the "Conservative party" is that it has no set of principles uniting it at all - it is alliance for power (not that I think it will achieve power - I do not believe so).
		A vote for a party led by Mr Cameron and his friends is a vote for more of the same (more spending, more taxes, more regulations, more submission to the E.U., and more of the out of control money supply from the "independent" Bank of England).

	TOWARD THE WAR FOR AMERICAN
		Parliament hoped to bind the colonies to the British empire with the new laws and regulations it passed.
		British policymakers had no intention of granting the colonies greater influence within the empire.
		When Britain responded to the Boston Tea Party with the Coercive Acts in 1774, many Americans, primed by resistance propaganda, concluded that all British actions in the last decade were part of a deliberate plot to enslave Americans by depriving them of property and liberty.

		The word British was removed from the passports and history was rewritten, with the enthusiastic help of the French Catholic intellectuals in Canada and Irish Catholic intellectuals in Australia.
		The new history falsely portrayed the British administrators and armed forces of the 19th Century as either tyrants or poltroons, and the settlers as heroic refugees fleeing from an oppressive government in the British Isles.
		Those tribes who had embraced British Citizenship for all the advantages it brought them and fought beside the troops sent from the British Isles, were portrayed as crawlers and traitors.

		With the Imperial Party controlling Westminster, all over-60s will be entitled to exemption from council tax, heating bills, television licences, road tax, bus and tram fares and road tax.
		We will institute a system of local referenda, binding on councils, that must be held on any given issue when a (reasonably attainable, depending on the size of the council’s area) number of petitions from local residents have been collected.
		Under the Imperial Party, people will see that they are able to change their local areas for the better, and they will!

	Patricia A. Ferguson: Fighting on All Fronts Leo Amery and the First World War
		LEOPOLD S. Amery was a British Conservative statesman whose career in Parliament (1911-45) spanned the major events in the British Empire for a half century.
		He became an enthusiastic disciple of imperial unity, believing that the empire should be transformed into a commonwealth of sister nations under allegiance to the British crown, with England as primus inter pares rather that the mother country for whose benefit the dominions and colonies existed.
		Although Asquith and his cabinet's liberal imperialism kept them from being direct heirs of Gladstone, the government's policy of free trade, their traditional views on the dangers of military preparedness and government by amateurs, and their tendency to "muddle through" in all areas seemed anachronistic and ill-suited to the quickened pace of the twentieth century.

	Thomson: The New Imperialism
		Nor, of course, could it be a general explanation of imperialism, which had existed centuries before there was a "glut of capital" and before finance capital was as plentiful or as well organized as it was in the later nineteenth century.
		The beneficiaries of imperialism were not always the initiators of it; and although King Leopold, Cecil Rhodes, and many of the other empire builders amassed great personal fortunes and powers, so too did many who merely stepped in later to reap the rewards of high administrative offices and rich concessions for trading and investment.
		In Britain, Disraeli committed the Conservative party to a general policy of imperialism in 1872, backed by the purchase of shares in the Suez Canal in 1875 and by the conferring of the title "Empress of India" upon Queen victoria in 1877.

	Japan Media Review -- Covering Japan's Royals
		The Imperial family is in crisis, but that's often hard to tell from Japanese media reports on royalty.
		Conservative editorial policies, self-censorship and the threat of right-wing intimidation prevent the media from opening a proper debate on the Chrysanthemum Throne's role in modern Japan.
		What was noticeable by their absence in the list, however, were the biggest taboos of all: Namely, any real criticism of the royal family or questioning of the role of the institution itself.

		The centre-right have a good record on all of these, and we must not be afraid to fight the battle to counter the false pictures painted by an alarmist media, aiding an opportunistic Labour Party.
		Imperial Tories passionately believe in individual liberty, the benefits of free markets to help society as a whole and the desirability of small and constitutionally limited government.
		The Conservative fight-back will not be built on spin and soundbites, but on the foundations of clear, relivant and coherant policy built on Conservative principles and British common sense.

	BBC - h2g2 - McGillicuddy Serious Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Later the more peaceful method of standing several candidates in the same electorate was adopted, (while it was illegal for the same candidate to contest two seats, increasing their chances of election, there was nothing wrong with a party have two candidates standing for the same seat, and splitting their own vote).
		The party was unsuccesful in it's attempt to exploit an electoral loophole and stand a hedgehog for office.
		In a similar manner to the British Monster Raving Loony party, the McGillicuddy Serious parties initial (lack of) success attracted serious anarchists - faced with the possibility of the organisation actually living up to it's middle name, the McGillicuddy Serious Party was disbanded by it's organisers after the 1999 elections.

		The Union of South Africa was formed from the British colonies of the Natal and the Cape Colony, together with the subjugated Boer Republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
		The flag of the Union was, significantly, an archaizing Dutch flag, with an orange instead of a red stripe, and the flag of Britain, the Orange Free State, and the Transvaal on the middle stripe.

		The majority of the Conservative Party took this as a lesson that Britain was nothing without America, but a small minority stuck to the view of Enoch Powell – and concluded that America was simply not to be trusted.

		The recent YouGov/Spectator poll of British attitudes toward U.S.-U.K. leadership of the war on terrorism should serve as an important wake-up call for policymakers in both Washington and London.
		The latest poll by ICM gives the Conservatives a nine-point advantage over the ruling Labour Party, the Tories’ biggest lead in 19 years.
		The newly released party manifesto, “Built to Last,” makes no mention at all of the United States and fails to outline a coherent vision or strategy for fighting the global war against Islamic terrorism or confronting the growing threat posed by Iran and other rogue regimes.
