* The article says that Cameron is "centrist" and cites his support of the NHS as one of the reasons for this description. The NHS (as a concept) receives almost universal support in the UK from every point on the political spectrum. The implication that thre are less moderate Conservatives who are against nationalised health care in principle is ludicrous. [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 23:16, 16 June 2007 (EDT)
* It also suggests that Cameron's belief in global warming is a "centrist" policy and not traditionally Conservative. Again, not true. The Tory government was pushing for action on global warming as early as 1992.

== The UK is not England. ==
If our American cousins are contributing to the site, could they please refer to the UK as the UK or Britain. Please only use England when refering to England as it demeans Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish British citizens. [[User: Alcatraz|Alcatraz]] 15:16 19 April 2007 (BST)
==High Unemployment==
When Margaret Thatcher came to power unemployment was an election issue, standing at 500,000 plus. In what sense can increasing it to 3,000,000 plus be termed "turning it round" ?

== Euroskepticism ==
I don't like many Tory leaders either, but it's simply wrong to declare them all Pro-EUists. E.g., the Foreign Minister and the "Brexit Minister" are both strongly opposed to the EU and also Prime Minister May has always been very euroskeptic, despite her vote vor remaining. Her government consists of both Pro- and Anti-EUists and her party too (both factions are equally strong in the party). --[[User:Elessar|Elessar]] ([[User talk:Elessar|talk]]) 02:28, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
:Theresa May is not "very euroskeptic" -- if she were, she would not have appointed into the government, or at least allowed herself to be influenced by, pro-EU people such as Hammond. If the UK gets a good deal, then I will re-add the line, but if the UK chooses to pursue a soft Brexit, despite pro-Brexit people occupying key government positions (showing how little power they have in the Conservative Party), we should keep the sentence as it is. What I have heard so far regarding Brexit talks is not comforting. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 10:42, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
== Move/rename? ==
I couldn't find a modern, national party in the US by this name, but there were formerly several state parties which used this name. To reduce confusion with these and potentially the parties of other countries as well, might we want to move this page to something like "Conservative Party (United Kingdom)" or "Conservative Party (UK)"? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 10:29, 25 April 2018 (EDT)
:A move might be a good idea (I prefer "UK" to "United Kingdom"). Not only does NY still have a functioning Conservative Party (though I don't think it necessarily rivals the GOP), but Canada and Norway also have parties called the Conservative Party. I don't see how the UK Conservative Party is more notable than the Canadian Conservative Party to a predominantly U.S.-focused wiki. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 10:35, 25 April 2018 (EDT)
