The Conservative Faith
In Tuesday's column, Derbyshire listed six tenets of Anglo-American conservatism (I prefer Russell Kirk's but these will do): 1. a deep suspicion of the power of the state.
2. a preference for liberty over equality.
3. patriotism.
4. a belief in established institutions and hierarchies.
5. skepticism about the idea of progress.
6. elitism.
