Andrew Bolt is a conservative, not a right-winger:

MTR, [Steve Price] said, would be Right-wing.

[I reminded] Price that if I had to own a tag, it was “conservative”, a very different thing.

And conservatives, unlike left- and right-wingers, unite people:

… conservatives of my kind also know it’s through our reason, freedom and individualism that we’re most fully human … We mistrust all creeds that divide us into tribes …

Here is Andrew Bolt not dividing us into tribes:

What a world we are literally creating. Two centuries ago in Britain, the rich outbred the poor, and pushed their values down the social scale. Now the poor – many virtuous, yes, but others lazy, careless or unsocialised – outbreed the rich, and the mob’s values are pushed up.

Clearly, under conservatism things like freedom and individualism only go so far. Opera: okay; tattoos and low socio-economic status: “new barbarianism”.
