TL;DR - Because I believe the lies. And possibly because I hate poor people and think they deserve to suffer so "wage payers" can have another mansion.

The whole article needs a giant [CITATION NEEDED] stuck on it, as most of the assertions are only supportable by citing conservative think-tanks.

>Conservatism, is not however purely libertarian. Conservatism adopts a minimum income for those who can’t help themselves

Since when is UBI/NIT seen as a non-libertarian conservative idea? Friedman was all over that shit.

Could be a good idea to add [UK] in the title as the conservatives in UK are quite different from the GOP or the conservatives here in Canada.
