whig

Why bother constructing a false Whig history of scientific progress when the real history is impressive enough?

Burke was a British Whig MP who supported the American Revolution, but opposed the French.

These Masons were members of the Whig Party opposed to the next successor to the throne, the unstable King George III.

There is obviously truth to it but it does not confirm the whig interpretation i.e.

For extra comedy points, the American Republican party formed largely from the American Whig party, which named itself after the British Whig party, which is today known in the UK as the Liberal Democrats.

The last full-term President with fewer vetoes was a member of the Whig party.

This might be the first casual reference I've seen to whig history, is that memeplex picking up steam?

We make a pilgrim's (if not a whig's) progress over time, good point.

This is so whiggish that it made my whig fly off my head when I read it.

I am referring to those things, in general terms (I'm not a protestant or a whig!).

This is basically the old Tory and Whig argument, unresolved.

I spend a lot of time on HN, so I'm gonna need to secure my whig somehow, because this happens a lot.

Hell, there's even a "Modern Whig Party".[1] But a big part of the problem is the mechanism by which we elect representatives to our government.

A great quantitative example of this is in the (somewhat dry) "Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party" by Michael Holt.

If that is a "whiggish view", then I guess I am a whig.

"People who quote Churchill seldom have given serious consideration to other forms of government" "The Devil was the first Whig"

It's quite obvious that the author is proposing you vote 'Whig' in order to stem the dilution.

The Mason’s plot originated after King George III’s destruction of the Whig’s political power with his redirection of this power to the Tory Party, and the Mason’s concern of the imminent invasion of England, during the Seven Years’ War, by the joint forces of France and Spain.
