Page "Conservative Democratic Alliance" Paragraph 11

The CDA often criticised free-market economics and Americanisation in the United Kingdom, both of which it perceived to be after-effects of Thatcherism.

That may be seen as distinguishing it from Iain Duncan Smith's Conservative Party leadership, which CDA members often criticised as neoconservative.

The CDA was also fervently opposed both to the European Union and to close links with the George W. Bush administration.
