    1) Its a root conservative purity principle - things should stay the same - against a root liberal one - things should be made better.https://twitter.com/TheMiddlist/status/880734614842740736 …

    I think New Zealand is in the process of redesigning a flag - where is the problem? What a confused analogy.

        2) Although, in practice, ppl who consider themselves conservative always see room for improvement & liberals like some things as they are.

        I am a liberal but I understand the pull of tradition too. I like continuity of cultural things providing they are not unjust things.

        So, I would be sad if the Union Jack was changed for something else but happy when laws change towards greater equality.

        I think it's more accurate to say conservatives require a strong case to be made for change, they're not dogmatically opposed to any change.

        Aye, but that's rather the point. Cons aren't the innovators, nm the wishful thinking & revisionism I see these days to suggest otherwise.

        Don't be snide, lol. If conservatives were as described above, they would not enact any legislation.

        How is it snide? Conservatism is necessary for this reason. Right wing ideologues just want it to be the EXCLUSIVE allowable politics.

        The right are every bit as retarded over this stuff as SJW. Hell, ppl argue that socialism doesn't belong in Labour (a socialist party)

        Well, it wasn't originally a "socialist" party, but a "workers" party. Hence the split.

        See, this revisionist nonsense always annoys me. The party was formed by trade unions & socialists. The stigmatisation of socialism is RW BS
