Undid edit. Bill Clinton was indeed corrupt, but some of his policies were more moderate in some ways than the New Left, so that should be noted.
The '''New Right''' refers to a political philosophy that combines a return to [[classical liberalism]] with [[traditional values]] and strong, but [[limited government]]. In the [[United Kingdom]], the New Right was championed by [[Conservative]] [[Cabinet]] minister [[Keith Joseph]], but rejected by the [[Conservative Party]] hierarchy at the time, led by [[Edward Heath]]. Following the Party's loss in the 1974 general elections, [[Margaret Thatcher]] seized the leadership on a New Right platform that would reshape British politics to the political Right.
