Councillor
A councillor, alternatively councilman, councilwoman, councilperson, or council member, is someone who sits on, votes in, or is a member of, a council. This is typically an elected representative of an electoral district in a municipal or regional government, or other local authority. The title of a councillor varies geographically, with a name generally being preceded by their title (or the shortened version Cllr when written) in formal or council-related situations in many places. Canada Due to the control that the provinces have over their municipal governments, terms that councillors serve vary from province to province. Unlike most provincial elections, municipal elections are usually held on a fixed date of 4 years. Finland ''This is about honorary rank, not elected officials.''

Conservative Party (Spain)
The Liberal Conservative Party (, PLC), also known more simply as the Conservative Party (, PC), was a Spanish political party founded in 1876 by Antonio Cánovas del Castillo. History Foundation The "Conservative" label referred to the dominant political ideas in Spain at the time, particularly regarding matters of state. The political formation of Spain was shaped by Antonio Cánovas del Castillo, at the request of Alfonso XII of Spain, who assumed the crown following the failure of the First Spanish Republic. The Conservative Party brought together a varied group of people, from the supporters of Isabel II of Spain before the Republic to the members of other groups Cánovas had formed. Its existence was linked to Cánovas himself and on his death in 1897 it was kept going by Francisco Silvela. In 1885, the party signed the Pact of El Pardo with the Liberal Party of Sagasta, in which the parties agreed to alternate (''turno'') in power after the death of Alfonso XII of S ...

Legitimists
The Legitimists () are royalists who adhere to the rights of dynastic succession to the French crown of the descendants of the eldest branch of the House of Bourbon, Bourbon dynasty, which was overthrown in the 1830 July Revolution. They reject the claim of the July Monarchy of 1830–1848 which placed Louis Philippe I, Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans, head of the House of Orléans, Orléans cadet branch of the Bourbon dynasty, on the throne until he too was dethroned and driven with his family into exile. Following the movement of Ultra-royalists during the Bourbon Restoration in France, Bourbon Restoration of 1814, Legitimists came to form one of France's three main Right-wing politics, right-wing factions, which were principally characterized by their counter-revolutionary views. According to historian René Rémond, the other two right-wing factions were the Orléanists and the Bonapartists. Legitimists believe that the traditional rules of succession, based on the Salic l ...

Traditionalism (Spain)
Traditionalism () is a Spanish political doctrine formulated in the early 19th century and developed until today. It understands politics as implementing Catholic social teaching and the social kingship of Jesus Christ, with Catholicism as the state religion and Catholic religious criteria regulating public morality and every legal aspect of Spain. In practical terms it advocates a loosely organized monarchy combined with strong royal powers, with some checks and balances provided by organicist representation, and with society structured on a Corporatist, corporative basis. Traditionalism is an ultra-reactionary doctrine; it rejects concepts such as democracy, human rights, constitution, universal suffrage, sovereignty of the people, division of powers, religious liberty, freedom of speech, equality of individuals, and parliamentarism. The doctrine was adopted as the theoretical platform of the Carlism, Carlist socio-political movement, though it appeared also in a non-Carlist inc ...
