Sir Robert Peel said in 1838,
“By Conservative principles, I mean … the maintenance, defence and continuance of those laws, those institutions, that society, and those habits and manners, which have contributed to and mould and form the character of Englishmen.”
These are my principles and apply mutatis mutandis to the people of every European country. Most conservatives want to change the national character for what they imagine is the better.
