Cimber posted:Very interesting. So right until before WW1 a Conservative meant someone who was a monarchist, a Liberal was someone who was a Lockian/Smithian free trade/capitalism/individual mandate libertarian type, and Labour was someone who was a socialist. That about right? I'd say that over the course of the 19th century as Parliamentary democracy began more and more to be seen as Britain's traditional and correct form of government, Conservativism/Toryism began to become more strongly associated less with monarchism per se, and more with a sort of paternalist view favouring economic interventionism and limited social programs, essentially trying to stave off the rise of socialism by attempting to align the interests of the aristocracy and the new working class, preserving their own political power at a financial cost. This was what's usually called "one-nation conservativism". Lest that seem too altruistic, I'd note that you could easily read this as the British aristocracy identifying the up-and-coming capitalists as their actual class enemies and cleverly coming up with a system that let them tax their enemies and then use the money to buy the loyalty of the poor--from the perspective of 19th century European aristrocrats, revolutions most came about as a result of the middle class getting mad and mobilising the poor to kill them, so presenting yourselves as the defenders of the interests of the working class was a shrewd move. Ultimately of course, industrialisation couldn't be stopped, and the logic of capitalism ultimately converted basically every aristocrat into one, at which point that distinction started to become a little moot. By the early-mid 20th century, the Tories and Liberals had essentially converged on policy, and after Labour took over as the second party of government from the Liberals, the Tories themselves became the party of free-market capitalism. But you'll still from time to time see them try to brand their meager social reforms as "one-nation conservativism" like they actually give a poo poo about poor people any time it looks like the winds are swinging against them.

In that instance the lift would simply exceed the rated load and I would plummet to the bottom of the shaft screaming bloody victory, and him being heavier I would end up on top, pinfall.

I absolutely cannot wait to see them all stab each other in the back during the leadership campaign, only to then have to publicly rally round the last oval office standing and pretend like they weren't twisting the knife a week previously.
