Many thanks, Skipper. Almost there. Was North a Conservative? Well, a Whig ...
Conservative = Orthodox
"Although he initially considered himself a Whig, he did not closely align with any of the Whig factions in Parliament and it became obvious to many contemporaries that his sympathies were largely Tory.[7]"
Yes, Lord North was a PM- it doesn't matter here what party he was from or where his political sympathies lay. 'Conservative' is there just as the definition of 'orthodox' - as Mamyalynne for example pointed out
