I feel conservatives are deeply misrepresented by the media. They present us as narrow-minded, yesteryear obsessed & #39;reactionaries& #39;. Conservative Party members come in in all varieties, but the vast majority of us are centre-right in disposition and capable of nuanced thought. 1/6
My own outlook draws on the best elements of two key schools of thought - classical liberalism & conservatism. My personal ethos and the policies I choose to advocate for are derived from some of the best thinking that has come before me. But I& #39;m not hidebound by & #39;doctrine& #39;. 2/6
Like many in the Conservative Party, I& #39;m open to innovation & new possibility, while seeking to preserve and transmit existing value across the generations. Conservatism is about stewarding change - both societal evolution and technological advancement - in a sustainable way. 3/6
The media tends to depict Conservatives as one note social conservatives with little to no tolerance or regard for other cultures and a fear of the outside world. Most Conservatives I& #39;ve encountered in real life have a great love of travel and a variety of cultural interests. 4/6
