She wasn't a conservative, she was a radical regressive

What could you possibly think is regressive about this?

in 2008, Widdecombe claimed that the "science of climate change is robustly disputed",[64] then, in 2009, that "There is no climate change, hasn't anybody looked out of their window recently?"[65] She was one of the five MPs who voted against the Climate Change Act 2008.[64][66]

The previous year, she voted to support a parliamentary motion in favour of homeopathy, disagreeing with the Science and Technology Committee's Report on the subject.[67]
