No, Cliff was different. He's a very conservative person in a lot of ways, likely as he grew older. You could see it when he spoke to the "regressive left" or when immigrants came up etc.

His role was that he tried to condemn the left/progressives from the authority position of "I'm on the far left/libertarian and even I can't get behind you guys so your points are invalid!!!!!" and that was frustrating for everyone.

But the reality was that he showed through body of work that he actually supported a more conservative, right wing Canada. But the UCP? No, I don't think he was ever behind them.
