British conservatism refers to a political and philosophical tradition in the United Kingdom that emphasizes the preservation of established institutions,[1] the rule of law, gradual societal change, traditionalism[2] British Unionism,[3] loyalism, euroscepticism,[4] a free market economy,[5] individualism[6] and a strong belief in personal responsibility.

Along with liberalism and socialism, it is one of the major political ideologies in the UK.

Entries on the list must have achieved notability after the writing of Reflections on the Revolution in France which is often seen as the starting point of conservatism.[7]

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
