A small-c conservative is anyone who believes in the philosophy of conservatism but does not identify with an official Conservative Party. The term was especially popular in Canada during the 1990s when the Progressive Conservative Party was centre-right with the Reform Party (later, the Canadian Alliance) further to the right. Members and supporters of the Reform Party/Canadian Alliance would thus describe themselves as small-c conservatives. It is also used in the United Kingdom to describe right wingers who do not support the UK Conservative Party.
