Description

While the Conservative party did not undergo the same torturous schisms that the Labour party went through after the successful Brexit and Scottish Independence referendums, the impact of said actions and the beginning of the worldwide Long Crisis greatly damaged the party. The One-Nation Conservatives were the first to peel off, once they figured the Tories were a sinking ship, for the most part left to join the New Party. The Cornerstone Group peeled off later, heading to join the English Labour Party once the Conservatives supported the first Regions Party government. 

The Conservative party has had trouble trying to reinvent itself in the face of new political currents. The Tories were neither able to accept the Post-Liberalism or the Ethnicism that animates other centrist and right-wing parties, and Muncipalism never took hold in the UK. The Conservatives have survived longer than many other parties in the new era thanks to their long history and sheer inertia, but have failed to find a new niche. For the most part, the party acts as a second right-wing to the Regions Party, although they do good constituency work.

Note: This project uses a fair amount of invented political ideologies and associated jargon, as well as references to other events and organizations. Due to the changes in language over time, some terms may no longer line up with their contemporary definitions. Some explanations for this box.

Bioconservatism: Bioconservatism is a stance that "transhumanist" technologies, such as body modification, genetic engineering and synthetic intelligence, are dangerous ideas and need to be treated with caution. Bioconservatives do not necessarily believe these technologies should be eliminated entirely, but that they should be carefully controlled and regulated so that they can serve as a social good without threatening human civilization.

Paleoconservatism: A set of economic beliefs that are Neo-Keynesian in nature. While Paleoconservatives believe in free trade and market economics, they also believe that it is nesecary for the state to intervene to achieve just outcomes.

From the shining mega-cities of the African coast, to the flooded streets of Old Miami. From the packed arcologies of China, to the bleak burning fields of Venezuela. From the vigorous debate of commune meeting halls in Buenos Aires, to the hushed whispers of secret party meetings in Munich. From the singing in the historicist concert halls of Montreal, to the screams over the burning slums of Moscow. From crowds of protesters in London, New Delhi, and Oran, to lonely miners on the Moon. All of it lives, all of it breathes, and all of it will one day die. All under the same twinkling light of the stars.

Our Fathers' Stars.
