list of conservatives

This is a list of prominent public figures frequently referred to as conservatives. Classifications of this sort are sometimes disputed (see the conservatism page for a discussion of the terms' controversies), so any listing here should not be taken as definitive. In general, the men and women here are considered "conservatives" in the modern, partisan, Western sense of the word, and not necessarily in any larger, more complex philosophical sense.
