من الاتجاه الراديكالي إلى الاتجاه المحافظ

لعل هذه الصياغة فى هذا السياق مناسبة لمنع الالتباس الذي ينشأ عن استخدام كلمة محافظة أو محافظية منفردتين, ومن المؤكد أن الأخ عامر يعلم تماماً معنى الكلمة لكنه يبحث عن صياغة مقبولة ومفهومة من القارئ, وهو أحد التحديات التي تواجهنا كل يوم, وقد استخدمت كلمة الرجعية لأنها أكثر عمومية ويمكن استخدامها فى أي سياق دون إضافة أو حذف
