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

Yeah obviously depends what you mean by conservative - but given the original post was people thinking the Conservatives weren't conservative enough, seemed a possible position some might take (i.e. they vote conservative as a "we don't want stuff to change" vote)

Idk if you can pigeonhole Brexit like that.
It is undoubtedly a Conservative Party product. But until after the referendum plenty on the left viewed the EU as an white Christian capitalist imperialist force for evil.
Every conservative neoliberal print media organisation was dead set against it.
Calling it one way or the other just depends on your bias.

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.
