Rename to "Conservatism in the United Kingdom"
For the sake of consistency, I believe that the template should be renamed as the following in the title of this topic, as other ideologies in other other countries have a similar name. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 12:41, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Thomas Carlyle a "conservative"
He is very little common with Oakeshott, Ferguson, or Hitchens (yes, I know it is Peter and not Christopher"), regardless for all his hate of the French Revolution, he does not strike me as someone, who necessarily wanted to protect any of the established institutions in a fundamental way. StrongALPHA (talk) 10:03, 29 May 2023 (UTC) At least not in some sentimental way that other conservatives would, he is more of a proto-"conservative revolutionary" like those in the Weimar Republic.

- Authoritative sources identify Carlyle as a prominent British conservative.
- For example, Herbert Tingsten in his influential work on conservative thought dedicates an entire chapter to the study of Carlyle.
- A reactionary romantic and arch-conservative, Carlyle believed in God, religion, aristocracy, heroism, monarchy. Trakking (talk) 10:51, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
