What is the difference between British Conservatism and American Conservatism?
various comments...
...."A lot. British conservatives, politicians all together don't base their campaigns on issues like gay marriage, stem cell research, pro-life/pro-choice and all the rest of the unnecessary garbage Americans waste their time arguing about."
"British conservatives are the equivalent of moderate American Democrats. The education system in Britain is a lot better than in America, so they don't have this thing we Americans call a "Republican". This is a person who thinks its still 1952, the red scare is in, women belong in the kitchen, minorities belong anywhere but here, and we all pray to a crinkly old white guy with a flowing white beard. Hence the term "Stupid Redneck republicans".
On an interesting side note, in the UK, as well as in every industrialized country besides America, the working class realizes that conservatives represent the wealthy. They might still vote conservative if the Labor party does something ugly like abuse funds (happened recently I think), but by and large they know that conservatives are bad news for the working man. Only in America has the conservative party managed to fool the rednecks into voting for the very party that keeps them in the trailer park."
...."Both are fiscally conservative, but there's much more social conservatism in the US. If you had to compare them, then I'd say: American conservatism is made up of 50% fiscal conservatism and 50 % social conservatism. British conservatism is made up of 85% fiscal conservatism and 15% social conservatism."
