The British Conservative Party and One Nation Politics

"David Seawight's new book offers an important contribution to understanding the Conservative Party in Britain as it returns to centre stage. Meticulously researched, the book sets the party into historical context focussing on the idea of One Nation. But One Nation Conservatism discussed here is presented in a new, more sophisticated and nuanced way. More than a scholarly work, it presents the challenges that David Cameron will have to meet, especially in the difficult economic and financial context he is likely to inherit. This book should be read by anyone interested in where British politics is heading over the next decade" Professor James Mitchell, Author of Conservatives and the Union
