Conservative must have a different meaning in the UK than it does in the US. Yes I admit I'm an American (technically anyway, in reality I'm an crypto-anarchist)., and I don't pay much attention to the UK. Everything I hear about the UK makes it seem like a lost cause in terms of freedom. It looks like your Conservatives are much like our DemoRepublicans (Democrats and Republicans are basically the same thing in the US...both of them want to destroy Freedom, Liberty, and basically everything good that America used to be). So good on you for being politically active.
