- Title
Conservatism After the Flood: Old Wine, New Bottles?
- Authors
Jones, Emily
- Abstract
The article explores the current state of the Conservative Party in British politics and its potential future. It discusses the emergence of new factions within the party, such as Liz Truss's Popular Conservatives, the New Conservatives, and the National Conservatives, which some see as evidence of a shift away from traditional conservative values. The article also examines the historical context of conservatism and the need for reinterpretation and adaptation of conservative principles. It raises questions about the identity and direction of the Conservative Party in 2024, particularly in relation to issues such as Brexit, support for Donald Trump, and the changing social and economic landscape. The article suggests that there are various sources of inspiration and potential paths for the party to take in the future, but it remains uncertain which version of conservatism will prevail.
