I believe it's a Conservative (party) project, completely.
I don't believe it's (small c) conservative - it's the antithesis of conservatism as an ideology that means you try not to change things other than slowly and carefully. It's practically revolutionary, overthrowing our economic links overnight.

Not wholly convinced but do get your point.
I'd argue the aims and achievements were regressive (or rather anti-progressive) rather than progressive, which I think is the domain of conservative values.
I mean, the idea of a conservative revolution is not totally unprecedented

Do you really believe it was not a conservative project?
It's been fought against internally within the Conservative Party since joining (longer arguably), and the politics of it rested squarely on the reverence of socially conservative values like national identity and sovereignty.
