The Conservative Democratic Alliance (CDA) was a political pressure group from the United Kingdom. The CDA referred to itself as the "authentic voice of conservatism".〔(CDA homepage )〕 It closed in December 2008. ==Foundation and organisation== The CDA was formed mostly by disaffected members of the Conservative Monday Club, another right-wing pressure group, who disagreed with the club's response to the Conservative Party's severing of links with the club in 2001.〔''Daily Mirror'', October 10, 2002, p. 10.〕 The ''The Daily Telegraph'' described the CDA as "a hardline offshoot of the Monday Club".〔The Daily Telegraph, 24 August 2004〕 The group was described as "ultra-right" by the Commission for Racial Equality.〔(The Commission for Racial Equality )〕 The group's chairman was Michael Keith Smith, who had been a member of the Conservative Monday Club since the early 1970s,〔(IDS and Le Fascist ), Sunday Mirror, 11 November 2001〕 and served on its Executive Council, 1986–1993. Original members of the CDA's steering committee included: * Sam Swerling, a Conservative Party parliamentary candidate twice in 1974〔Stalybridge and Hyde (UK Parliament constituency)〕〔Nottingham East (UK Parliament constituency)#Elections in the 1970s〕 and councillor (1978–82) on Westminster City Council.〔http://www.election.demon.co.uk/wcc/members.html〕 * Stuart Millson, an independent councillor for East Malling and Larkfield Parish Council,〔http://home.btconnect.com/Larkfield_Parish/Counc08.html〕 founder, with Jonathan Bowden, of the short-lived Revolutionary Conservative Caucus. * Gregory Lauder-Frost, former Political Secretary, and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, of the Monday Club. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conservative Democratic Alliance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
