Conservatism
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Conservatism is a type of political group that is aimed at preserving tradition and the old way of life. Central to Conservative beliefs are the ideas of authority, tradition, the idea of society as organic (that it evolved into being instead of being created by people) and the notion that political thought is dangerous because humans do not have the intellectual capacity to dream up good ideas about how to construct a new society. Arguably, the most famous conservative has been Margaret Thatcher, who governed from 1979 to 1990 and who was responsible for the harsh treatment of miners and Trade Unions in the 80's, rescuing the country from its financial difficulties and unemployment, and for the Gulf War.
