The Conservative Party edit
The Conservative Party is no doubt a center-right party and not a right wing party דולב חולב (talk) 05:39, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- The multiple reliable secondary sources you deleted from the article indicate otherwise. Cambial — foliar❧ 08:32, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support for privatisation, reducing the size of the state, focus on nationalism and immigration, these are all hall marks of right to far right policies not centre right. 78.151.204.254 (talk) 12:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- Far right ?
- the Conservative Party of the UK is a very formal, catch all party of the center right.
- No need to exaggerate with the term “far right” come on. The Independence Party is the UK’s “far right” party. (Although I don’t think they’re far right but they’re considered as one). דולב חולב (talk) 02:07, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

The Conservative Party cannot, in recent years, be considered 'centre right'. Although I consider much of their policies to be far right, they should at the very least be described as right wing. 78.151.204.254 (talk) 12:18, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
One of three edit

Within the EU, the UK is one of the largest recipients of research funding in the European Union edit
Wouldn't it be time to write 'was'? Regards, ULF 2001:4C80:40:493:9AEE:CBFF:FEE7:FBAD (talk) 09:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Marriage equality edit
"According to an estimation of the right-wing Bow Group think-tank, in 2013 the Conservative Party lost 35–40% of its membership due to the Same Sex Marriage Bill."
This is a baseless assertion. It should be deleted.
Citation link is dead, and Bow Group provides no data to ground this claim. "Evidence" comes from claimed "canvassing" of 100 local associations, typically one per constituency. UK has over 600 constituencies.
Same group found that average age of Conservative Party members is 72.
If not deleted, it should be contextualized:
"The right-wing Bow Group think tank claimed the Conservative Party lost 35–40% of its membership due to the Same Sex Marriage Bill in 2013. It based the claim on a canvassing of a fraction of local associations; it did not conduct a poll. The same group stated in 2017 that the average age of a Conservative Party member may be 72."
