Edmund Burke was Irish and was educated in Ireland. His family was mixed one side being catholic the other being Protestant. He was persecuted for his Irish catholic heritage and would actively present himself as Protestant. He seen first hand what penal law in ireland did to certain peoples. This must have heavily shaped his world view.

@mididoctors Hitler was a socialist and killed 4 times as many people as WW1. What do you say about that. Or how about Chinese socialists that murdered over 100 million people which is more than WW1 and WW2 combined.

They are not liberals. Tories today do have members that are liberal and they have been able to operate as a swing vote in the party. From right now that swing is gone. Low taxes, economic growth and national identity can drive the Conservative party to a new era. The next 5 years could set up the UK to be a world leader and for the lives of the population to be much better.

@mididoctors I guess you have never lived in a social housing era. If you did you would never promote it. I grew up a council estate and it was a hell hole. Most people who live in social housing do not value the house and many will be stuck on welfare and will never strive to be raised out of the estate. I was the only person in my class at school that went to university and got out of the hell hole estate.
