Conservative Liberalism

"Not to be confused with Liberal Conservatism or Libertarian Conservatism."

Conservative Liberalism, shortened to ConLib, is an economically center-right to right-wing, civically liberal and culturally center-right to right-wing ideology which seeks to combine liberal values such as free markets, free trade, individual rights and freedom of speech with a more traditional and conservative stance on social and ethical matters. He takes influence from Classical Liberalism, although is slightly less radical and has a greater focus on positive liberty. Rather than being based on progressivism, ConLib's ideology combines liberalism with elements of classical philosophy (the common good, natural rights etc.), Christianity (natural law, social nature of man etc.) and ancient institutions (common law, social hierarchies etc.).

Some of the most notable figures within the Conservative Liberalism were philosophers like Edmund Burke and Alexis De Tocqueville who had believed in Classically Liberal ideas like free trade and  Civically Nationalist views like free movement on immigration (but against open borders and illegal immigration)  with conservative outlooks on  fiscal, ethical and social issues.

Despite the confusing distinction and similarities with Liberal Conservatism they differ  in the sense that Liberal Conservatives tend to be progressive similar to Progressive Conservatives while Conservative Liberals wish to preserve traditional and moral values while making  reforms occasionally when seen fit, thus varying culturally center-right to right wing at most.
