Revision as of 00:43, August 16, 2017
, 00:43, August 16, 2017I will accept the "citation needed" tags, as long as you keep out the "partially" word. This is the party leadership -- not the base, the regular folk.

The '''Conservative Party''' is the largest right-of-center party in the [[United Kingdom]], and is one of that country's two major political parties. Its full official name is the ''Conservative and Unionist Party'', and it is commonly referred to as the ''Tories'' after its historical predecessor. Its current leader as of July 13, 2016 is [[Theresa May]]. Aside from moderate fiscal conservatism, there is little actual conservatism in the modern party, particularly the party's upper echelons, which is, along with all the main political parties in the UK, [[pro-abortion]]{{cn}}, pro-[[same-sex marriage|same sex "marriage"]], and pro-[[gun control]]{{cn}}, and partially anti-[[Euroskeptic]].

The base of the Conservative Party leans [[Eurosceptic]] as more than 2/3 of its members voted for [[Brexit]]. Most of its MPs now support Brexit.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/may/15/tories-set-to-become-more-eurosceptic-campaign-group-says</ref>
