Editing Conservative Party (UK) (section)

=== Traditionalist Conservatives ===
This [[socially conservative]] right-wing grouping is currently associated with the [[Cornerstone Group]] (or Faith, Flag and Family), and is the oldest tradition within the Conservative Party, closely associated with [[High Toryism]]. The name stems from its support for three social institutions: the [[Church of England]], the [[unitary state|unitary British state]] and the family. To this end, it emphasises the country's [[Anglican]] heritage, oppose any transfer of power away from the United Kingdom—either downwards to the nations and regions or upwards to the European Union—and seek to place greater emphasis on [[traditional family]] structures to repair what it sees as a broken society in the UK. It is a strong advocate of marriage and believes the Conservative Party should back the institution with tax breaks and have opposed the alleged assaults on both traditional family structures and fatherhood.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-06-04 |title=Conservative MPs call for 'moral values' agenda : ePolitix.com |url=http://www.epolitix.com/latestnews/article-detail/newsarticle/conservative-mpsnbspcall-fornbspmoral-values-agenda/ |access-date=2024-04-11 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604195558/http://www.epolitix.com/latestnews/article-detail/newsarticle/conservative-mpsnbspcall-fornbspmoral-values-agenda/ |archive-date=4 June 2011 }}</ref>
