British Conservative Party

The British Conservative Party, often referred to as the Tories, is one of the main political parties in the United Kingdom. Founded in the late 18th century, it traditionally supports free market policies, a strong national defense, and a limited role for government in the economy. The party emphasizes individual responsibility, personal freedom, and maintaining traditional institutions. Over the years, it has shifted in response to social changes and economic challenges, playing a significant role in UK politics, including leading the government for various periods. The current leader is responsible for setting the party's agenda and policies.
