Great Quote from a conservative

     Benjamin Disraeli was a member of the British Conservative party his entire career in politics although this quote from an opponent shows that he was not a stick in the mud type " As a result of these social reforms the Liberal-Labour MP Alexander Macdonald told his constituents in 1879, "  As a result of these social reforms the Liberal-Labour MP Alexander Macdonald told his constituents in 1879, As a result of these social reforms the Liberal-Labour MP Alexander Macdonald told his constituents in 1879, "The Conservative party have done more for the working classes in five years than the Liberals have in fifty." Some of the social acts passed included including the Artisan's and Labourers' Dwellings Improvement Act 1875, the Public Health Act 1875, the Sale of Food and Drugs Act (1875), and the Education Act (1876). His government also introduced a new Factory Act meant to protect workers, the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Act 1875 to allow peaceful picketing, and the Employers and Workmen Act (1875) to enable workers to sue employers in the civil courts if they broke legal contracts. Hell of a conservative, he felt strongly about levelling the playing field.
