Consistent with principles such as duty, hierarchy and organicism, it can be seen an outgrowth of [[File:Tradcon.png]] [[Classical Conservatism|Traditionalist Conservatism]]. Paternalistic Conservatives support neither the individual nor the state in principle, but are instead prepared to support either or recommend a balance between the two depending on what is most practical thus making them civically moderate.

Patcons adopt policies similar to [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] or a [[File:Soccap.png]] [[Social Capitalism|Social Market Economy]].
