Traditional conservatism
Edmund Burke (1729-97) was a political philosopher who believed in:
• revered the monarchy and aristocracy
• most successful constitutions where those that grew naturally rather than from reformers and intellectuals
o French Revolution of 1789 was the failure of people to accept their position in society
• Involves a structured hierarchy in society, upper classes have a responsibility to look after the lower classes.
Nowadays there is support for:
• family
• law and order
• right to wealth
• belief that love of country can be combined with support for the monarchy
• extreme ideologies of fascism and communism means people desire stability
Values are based on a love of the past, a respect for tradition and a desire for stability.
One-Nation Conservatism
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) based his ideas on Sir Robert Peel (1778-1950):
• the country was being divided into two nations by the development of the industrial revolution: rich and poor
• the job of the Conservative Party was to reunite the country by bringing in social reforms to improve the living and working conditions of the working class
• became a true national party rather than one that relied on the votes of the aristocrats and their tenants farmers
• patriotism and support of the monarchy
• developed an expansionist foreign and imperial policy
Post 1945 Conservative leaders (Churchill, Eden, MacMillan, Home and Heath) adopted this need to grasp reform and the responsibility for the rich to help the poor. They aimed to win central ground.
Even Thatcherite and post Thatcherite-era aim to unite the country with the ‘on-nation’ approach. David Cameron’s ideologies lie with ‘one-nation’ politics.
The idea, derived from Disraeli that the Conservative Party should aim to reunite the country by working to reduce the gap between rich and poor and by developing a strong sense of patriotism.
*Thatcherism
This was for those who had never fully accepted post-war consensus or Disraelian One-Nation Tory-ism.
Thatcher developed her ideas from the New Right, a term used to describe the theorists in the USA and Britain who revived conservatism in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
• American economist Milton Friedman
• Austrian-British political philosopher, Friedick von Hayek.
Economic liberalism:
• free enterprise is the best way to run an economy
• freedom of individuals to trade and prosper with the minimum of government interference
• individual freedom
• reduction of government taxation
• reduction of government spending and borrowing
• the aim was to stop inflation and allow private enterprise to develop free from state interference
In the short term this lead to high unemployment and large conflict with trade unions. There were violent and bitter strikes from 1984 to 1985. But in the long term the impetus provided on the ‘supply side’ of the economic equation would lead to a growth in national prosperity and hence eventually to more jobs and more opportunities for people to run their own business.
Privatization:
• large parts of the state-run economy were sold off to small investors and the big financial institutions:
o electricity generation
o gas
o buses
o water
o telephones
o trains (under John Major)
o coal and steels
• Thatcher’s aim was to ‘roll back the frontiers of the state’ but what remained of the state should be strong and effective.
• The welfare state should go – replace social solution to problems with an individual one – but it was only her that though this
• selling off council houses to their tenants – this was very popular and it made people proud to own something
• state schools were giving more independence – to encourage competition between schools and develop improvements in teaching quality
• NHS – more businesslike because it would be electoral suicide to replace it
