Old Right (United Kingdom)
In Britain, the term Old Right is sporadically used to refer to conservatives of various stripes who predated the emergence of Thatcherism, initially in opposition in the 1970s and then in government in the 1980s. The term is used most frequently to refer to the sort of Right-wingers who held what are now generally considered to be racist views on many issues and were often members of the League of Empire Loyalists, but it is occasionally also used to refer to the Tory wing of post-war consensus politics (often called Butskellism).
