Description

The story of the most successful political party in the world and a nation made in its image. Since 2010, the Conservative Party has presided over numerous corruption scandals and blundered through major challenges, yet consistently secured election victories with increasing support. Samuel Earle explores the roots of this paradox, tracing the party's origins to their ruling class beginnings in the eighteenth century and examining their disproportionate influence on the British press. He also sheds light on the Conservatives' enduring appeal among working-class voters and why the Labour Party often falls short. This book offers a clear and insightful analysis of the Conservative Party's remarkable staying power, shedding light on the making of Britain through one party's astonishing persistence.
