'conservative' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'calm but henry shifting a long way to the right' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'henry' could be 'h' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance) and 'h' is present in the answer.
'calm' could be 'cool' (cool is a kind of calm) and 'cool' is found within the remaining letters.
'long' could be 'l' and 'l' is present in the answer.
'way' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'od' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'keeps' is the link.
