Not to be confused with File:Conlib.png Conservative Liberalism or File:Conbertf.png Libertarian Conservatism.

"Issues that divided Conservatives from Liberal Democrats are now issues where we both agree."

Liberal Conservatism, often shortened to LibCon is an economically center-right to right, culturally moderate but generally right-leaning and usually center to authoritarian-leaning on the lib-auth axis, ideology. Liberal conservatism incorporates the File:Clib.png Classical Liberal view of minimal government intervention in the economy, according to which individuals should be free to participate in the market and generate wealth without government interference. However, unlike most File:Lib.png liberals, liberal conservatism emphasizes trying to conserve this worldview and views any attempts to challenge it as an existential threat. They are also unafraid to be called File:Conservative.png conservative, even if they're often more File:Soclib.png socially liberal on certain issues.

History

[edit]

Historically, conservatism in the 18th and 19th centuries comprised a set of principles based on concern for established tradition, respect for authority, and religious values. This form of traditionalist or classical conservatism is often considered to be exemplified by the writings of Joseph de Maistre in the post-Enlightenment age. Contemporaneous liberalism, now recalled as classical liberalism, advocated both political freedom for individuals and a free market in the economic sphere. Ideas of this sort were promulgated by John Locke, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, who are respectively remembered as the fathers of liberalism, including economic liberalism, the separation of church and state, social liberalism and utilitarianism.

According to scholar Andrew Vincent, the maxim of liberal conservatism is "economics is prior to politics". Others emphasize the openness of historical change and suspicion of tyrannical majorities behind the hailing of individual liberties and traditional virtues by authors such as Edmund Burke and Alexis de Tocqueville as the basis of current liberal conservatism which can be seen both in the works of Raymond Aron and Michael Oakeshott. However, there is general agreement that the original liberal conservatives were those who combined conservative social attitudes with an economically liberal outlook, adapting a previous aristocratic understanding of natural inequalities between men to the rule of meritocracy, without directly criticizing privileges of birth as long as individual liberties were guaranteed. Over time, the majority of conservatives in the Western world came to adopt free-market economic ideas as the Industrial Revolution progressed and the aristocracy lost its power, to the extent that such ideas are now generally considered as part of conservatism. Nonetheless, the term liberal is used in most countries to describe those with free-market economic views. This is the case in continental Europe, Australia, and Latin America.

File:KernesGepa.png Kernesism is the ideology of Gennadiy Kernes who was a mayor of Kharkiv from 2010 to 2020. It is File:Klep.png corruptionary doctrine and File:CronyCap.png cronyistic, like many other File:Partyofregions.png Party of Regions members. The party of Kernes was File:KernesBloc.png "Block of Kernes — Succesfull Kharkiv". Kharkivians think that he was a good mayor and is respected even after his death in December 2020 due to COVID complications. Howerer outside of Eastern Ukraine, he remains a controversial figure as he supported pro-Russian unrests following the Euromaidan.

Mitt Romney, the former United States Senator from Utah and governor of Massachusetts

Romneyism is based on the political beliefs of File:Cball-Utah.png Utah Senator and 2012 File:RepubUS.png Republican Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. Romney describes himself as being a File:Modcon.png Moderate Republican. His first major position in politics was serving as Governor of File:Cball-Massachusetts.png Massachusetts, where he cut spending, increased fees, and closed corporate tax loopholes in order to bring about surpluses. Romney also signed into law the Massachusetts health care reform or "Romneycare" which aimed at providing health insurance to all Massachusetts residents and would ironically serve as a model for "Obamacare".

On social issues, he is quite conservative. Although he was File:Pro-Choice1.png pro-choice as governor, he later became File:Antiabort.png pro-life in 2005 as he became File:Trad.png culturally right, opposing abortion in all cases except for rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother. In addition to being pro-life, Romney also opposes File:Antiporn.png pornography and File:Gay.png LGBT+ rights, although, by 2022, he began to moderate his stance on the LGBT+ community, voting in favor of the Respect for Marriage Act, which requires all states and territories to recognize the validity of same-sex marriages and civil unions while also protecting File:Religious.png religious freedom.

In 2012 Romney won the Republican nomination for President and faced incumbent President File:Obamium.png Barack Obama. Obama criticized Romney for calling File:Cball-Russia.png Russia the number one geopolitical foe to The United States and for his proposed Medicare reforms. Obama ended up defeating Romney and served another term as President.

During the 2016 Presidential Election, Romney criticized File:Blump.png Donald Trump calling him a phony and a fraud. In response, Trump called Romney a "choke artist". In 2018 Romney was elected to the Senate representing File:Cball-Utah.png Utah, he became the most prominent File:Antitrump.png Anti-Trump Republican in the Senate voting to convict him in both his impeachment trials. Romney also marched alongside File:Blm.png Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020 and voted to confirm File:Libfem.png Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court in 2022.

Cameronism is an economically center-right and culturally center to center-left ideology based off the views and policies of former UK prime minister and Tory Party leader David Cameron.

Beliefs

[edit]

Cameron described his big society project as an example of people power to turn government on its head. It involves large community projects to allow the British people to let their passion run wild without government constraints. The initiatives being championed include a local buy-out of a rural pub, efforts to recruit volunteers to keep museums open, support to speed up broadband supply, and giving residents more power over council spending. These schemes and others in the future, he said, would represent "the biggest, most dramatic redistribution of power from elites in Whitehall to the man and woman on the street".

Cameron claimed that, the talents and initiative of people had been wasted, stating that over-centralised government had turned public sector workers into the "weary, disillusioned puppets of government targets".

File:MusLib.png Muscular Liberalism
[edit]

Cameron's muscular liberalism was the promotion of Western values such as liberal democracy, freedom of speech and expression and equal rights for all. It was devised to counter Islamic radicalisation and terrorism while still remaining committed to the liberal principle of open borders and diversity. Cameron claimed this "muscle" was necessary as liberal multiculturalism had failed and led to rising tensions within the Islamic community and a rise in terrorist attacks.

Austerity is a fiscal policy that was promoted by David Cameron following the Great Recession. The term was used by the File:ConNeoLIb.png Coalition and File:Con-t.png Conservative governments in office from 2010 to 2019.

Cameron claimed that austerity served as a deficit reduction programme consisting of sustained reductions in public spending and tax rises, intended to reduce the government budget deficit and the role of the welfare state in the United Kingdom. Some commentators accepted this claim, but many scholars have observed that in fact its primary, largely unstated aim, like most austerity policies, was to restore the rate of profit.

Personality

[edit]

LibCon's personality is kinda boring, but not too boring. He tries to compromise with both liberals and conservatives by adopting some of their policies. Basically the combined personalities of George H.W. Bush, John McCain, John Kasich, File:Cball-UK.png David Cameron, File:Cball-Germany.png Angela Merkel, File:Cball-Netherlands.png Mark Rutte and of course, God Emperor Mitt Romney. He may also act like Hank Hill from King of the Hill.

LibCon also really likes reading and money.

He tries to associate himself with File:Clib.png Classical Liberalism.
