4:00 pm Societal & Academic Policies

Conservative forces agree that minority groups should not dominate the core aspects of policymaking, individuals are regarded as responsible and capable of self-determination, embodying the principle of personal responsibility. In addition, Conservative parties strongly reject the overzealous demands of identity policy viewing them as threats to individual freedom.

Academic freedom is something that, unfortunately, in our times cannot be taken for granted. Conservative forces should therefore resist the narrowing of spaces for debate, the imposition of guilt by association, and threats to academic freedom, which are increasingly being driven by left-wing and green ideologists.
