CONSERVATIVE (TORY) PARTY From 1830

SIR ROBERT PEEL 

SUMMARY  Conservative Party (previously Tory) is in Britain, Canada and South Africa established.  The basis of the party is to maintain the traditional values and institution. It is in Britain one of the main parties.

In 1830 it was decided that the previously called Tory Party should change its name to Conservative Party since the word stood for preservation of institutions. Sir Robert Peel preferred the name. However, the party split over free trade and Peel’s follower joined the Liberals. 

BENJAMIN DISREALI

It was gradually adopted and Disreali described the party as eager to preserve the institutions, the maintenance of the Empire and improvement of the condition of the people. 

Up till 1945 the British Conservative Party was imperialists. From 1945 till 1970 there was a change in the party politics to a more realistic outlook in accepting the Welfare State and response to public opinion. 

MARGARET THATCHER

Under the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher a great change was made within the party. The 19^th century liberal outlook on individual free enterprise was abandoned and introducing her power against Local authorities. She privatised the gas, electricity, railway and water which now cost the tax payers not only subsidies but also sky high prices while these giants making huge profits. She had broken up the coal mines, ship and steel industries which were the pride of Britain and the envy of the world.

The Conservative Party certainly forgot their original principles.

1990 Canada’s Conservative Party also changed their original principles on national issues.

The South African Conservative Party was extremely right-wing during the last decades of Apartheid era. Their main support came from traditionalists which were a minority of the Afrikaner who tried to keep hold on at all cost. Eventually they lost their power but in the meantime it costs too many lives. Although the Apartheid is abandoned but has it really equalled for the original Africans in South Africa
