- From The World Book Encyclopedia, entry by James L. Godfrey:
-
- CONSERVATIVE PARTY is one of the two main political parties in Great Britain.
- The second is the Labour Party...etc...etc..
-
- and also under CONSERVATISM
-
- ...The name 'Conservative' was first used around 1830....was applied to
- descendents of the old Tory party...conservative ideas were expressed as
- earlyas the 1700's in the writings and speeches of Edmund Burke....
-
- I don't know what a "Peter da Silva" is but either you have misquoted him
- (which is what I suspect) or he is an ignoramous. Conservatives are simply
- descendents of Burke, the greatest mortal who ever lived in my opinion.
- They were the first critics of the philosophes and the parents of the
- Romantics.
