Thanks rusty. Canyon is the answer I had in mind, but I cannot in any way relate it to the clue.

Conservative is abbreviated to "C".
No matter who, is "anyone".
"anyone" fails to finish is "anyon".
Canyon is a defile.

Thanks rusty and jazzgirl. It's the first time I have ever heard of a defile being a narrow gorge. Thanks again! :-)
