Churchill was a member of the Liberal party for quite some years, but didn't stay there. "In the 1900 General Election Churchill was elected as the Conservative MP for Oldham. As a result of reading, Poverty, A Study of Town Life by Seebohm Rowntree he became a supporter of social reform. In 1904, unconvinced by his party leaders desire for change, Churchill decided to join the Liberal Party. In the 1906 General Election Churchill won North West Manchester and immediately became a member of the new Liberal government as Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies. ............. ............. ............. ............. The divisions in the Liberal Party led to Churchill being defeated by E. D. Morel at Dundee in the 1922 General Election. Churchill now rejoined the Conservative Party and was successfully elected to represent Epping in the 1924 General Election. "

21st century "liberalism" has changed a ton from 19th century "liberalism", but "conservatism" has changed a lot as well. Modern American conservatism combines aspects of both 19th century liberalism and 19th century conservatism. Some who would be called conservative would be 19th century conservatives, others would be 19th century liberals, the majority would probably be a bit of both. Not that Hayek would properly be called a conservative even in the modern American sense of the term. Tim
