The Conservative Party was founded in 1834 from the Tory Party—giving rise to the Conservatives' colloquial name of Tories—and was one of two dominant parties in the 19th century, along with the Liberal Party. In the 1920s, the Liberal vote greatly diminished and the Labour Party became the Conservatives' main rivals. Conservative Prime Ministers led governments for 57 years of the 20th century, including Winston Churchill (1940–45, 1951–55) and Margaret Thatcher (1979–90). Thatcher's tenure led to wide-ranging economic liberalisation and saw the Conservatives become the most eurosceptic of the three major parties.
The Conservative Party of South Africa (Konserwatiewe Party van Suid-Afrika in Afrikaans) was a hardright party that wished to conserve many aspects of apartheid in the system's final decade. It formed the official opposition in the white only House of Assembly in the last seven years of apartheid although it declined after apartheid before being merged with the Freedom Front in 2004.
Foundation and early support
It was formed in 1982 by 23 MPs from the ruling National Party who opposed Prime Minister PW Botha's reforms to apartheid and power sharing proposals, which they saw as a threat to white minority rule, and the racial segregation known as Separate Development. Led by Andries Treurnicht, a former Dutch Reformed Church minister popularly known as 'Doctor No'. The CP's English language programme booklets from 1987-89 stated that the party was established "to continue the policy of self-determination after the [NP] government had exchanged self-determination" (something the CP described as an "infallible policy"), for power-sharing. It drew support from white South Africans, mostly Boer/Afrikaners in the rural heartlands of South Africa.

This week, the best and brightest of the British Right gathered in London for the National Conservatism conference.
Leading up to NatCon there was much speculation from the Left that it would be an opportunity for the far-Right to spout bigoted hate.
I went to NatCon to find out the truth in a new documentary for The Telegraph.
NatCon's attendees were young, articulate and bright; I did not pick up on a whiff of extremism.
Instead, there was much anger with the Tory Party for its failure to enact conservative policies.
For example, their broken promises on immigration and leftward drift on social issues were two major contentions for the conference goers.
Whilst there is much noise about how the Conservatives are failing to engage young people who are increasingly Left-wing, they have also alienated those with more traditional views.
By becoming a socially-liberal party under David Cameron, the Tories have simply been outflanked by Labour on social issues whilst angering their core voters.
This week, Matt Hancock warned the Tories against pursuing a socially conservative agenda, claiming his former party would cease to be an electoral force if they did so.
If the Conservatives decide to merely become a replica of their opponents, then what is the point in them?
This goes to explain why Sunak's party is so far behind in the polls; if you abandon your core principles and betray your electorate, do not expect them to vote for you.
Speakers at NatCon were not afraid to touch on controversial issues, including demography, defending our history, immigration, and the degradation of our culture.
On all of these issues the Conservative Party have for far too long been on the wrong side.

This week, the best and brightest of the British Right gathered in London for the National Conservatism conference.
Leading up to NatCon there was much speculation from the Left that it would be an opportunity for the far-Right to spout bigoted hate.
I went to NatCon to find out the truth in a new documentary for The Telegraph.
NatCon's attendees were young, articulate and bright; I did not pick up on a whiff of extremism.
Instead, there was much anger with the Tory Party for its failure to enact conservative policies.
For example, their broken promises on immigration and leftward drift on social issues were two major contentions for the conference goers.
Whilst there is much noise about how the Conservatives are failing to engage young people who are increasingly Left-wing, they have also alienated those with more traditional views.
By becoming a socially-liberal party under David Cameron, the Tories have simply been outflanked by Labour on social issues whilst angering their core voters.
This week, Matt Hancock warned the Tories against pursuing a socially conservative agenda, claiming his former party would cease to be an electoral force if they did so.
If the Conservatives decide to merely become a replica of their opponents, then what is the point in them?
This goes to explain why Sunak's party is so far behind in the polls; if you abandon your core principles and betray your electorate, do not expect them to vote for you.
Speakers at NatCon were not afraid to touch on controversial issues, including demography, defending our history, immigration, and the degradation of our culture.
On all of these issues the Conservative Party have for far too long been on the wrong side.
