The Conservative Party of British Mariana (nicknamed the Tories) was a conservative political party in British Mariana that existed from 1832 to 1907. It was the second political party founded in Enderronian history, after the Progressive Party. Throughout its existence, its main rival was the British Mariana Liberal Party.
The Conservative Party was formed by a conservative faction of independent politicians in 1832, led by John Constance. Its first period in government was from 1843 to 1844, where Henry Bassinger led a short-lived minority government. After he was replaced as leader in 1846, the party began to dominate British Marianan politics under leaders Lachlan Russell and W. A. Watford, assisted by an electoral malapportionment scheme known as the Russellmander. From 1850 to 1875, the Conservatives were in government for all but four years and won every election except in 1857. The party lost to the Liberals in 1875 election and remained in opposition until 1889. The two parties frequently alternated between government and opposition in the 1890s until the rise of the Democratic Party of Enderron, a splinter from the Liberals, in 1901. Following another period of political stagnation, the Conservatives merged with the remaining Liberal factions to form the Enderron People's Party in 1907.
The Conservatives were generally socially conservative, loyal to the British Crown and expansionist. The party advocated for protectionist economic policies and took a hardline stance against the neighbouring colony of Dutch Mariana.
