'''Conservatism''' (''aka'' Toryism) is a form of politics in which the interests of free enterprise entrepreneurs and shareholders are held to be paramount. All sorts of labels are applied to it, especially by the Tory party in Great Britain, in an attempt to conceal the true nature of conservatism and dress it up as some kind of social welfare program. Tories typically claim to be patriotic but, as [[Samuel Johnson]] famously said: "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel".
'''Conservatism''' is a concept of political theory used as a shortcut to refer to a wide swath of people who allegedly hold similar values. The conservative ideal is one of limiting social change, preserving traditional family and gender and sexuality mores, staunch patriotism for one's country, and fiscal restraint, resisting extensive immigration from other countries, and often, it includes a refusal to fund support for people in need.
