what does the word 'orthodoxies' mean

i saw a recent interview with a conservative mp here in england, on youtube..and the mp was saying that ''conservatives must reject liberal orthodoxies?'' and i was wondering what was meant by that statement?

because i am on benefits for disablements i have, and i was fearing does that statement mean they want to do away with the welfare system, i would be against that obviously, because i rely on the welfare system because i am genuinly have disablements..and i think the welfare system should exist for those who are genuinly disabled?

anyway can anyone explain what this mp possibly meant by this statement '' conservatives must reject liberal orthodoxies? ''

thankyou.

Now qualify this definition with the beliefs of liberals in your area, and you've then got your answer

@deadgerbil And presumably with the beliefs of non-liberals, whatever both do in fact believe. The word "orthodoxy" itself is neutral.

@ArishMell indeed
