| book description |
The Conservative Party has long laid claim to being the world’s most successful political party, not least because it is also one of the most adaptable, often appearing to do and say pretty much whatever it takes to win. But has it now shot itself in the foot by trying too hard to fight off Nigel Farage? Since the UK voted to leave the EU back in 2016, the Tories have arguably done more than simply re-shape themselves: rather, they seem to have transformed themselves from a mainstream centre-right party into an ersatz radical right-wing populist outfit – one characterized by an often counter-intuitive combination of culture war concerns, on the one hand, and free market fundamentalism, on the other. In this compelling and persuasively argued book, Tim Bale, one of the country's foremost experts on contemporary British politics, takes us on a rollercoaster ride through the Conservatives’ fortunes over the last decade. From the bombshell Brexit referendum, through the chaotic premierships of Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and Liz Truss, to the party’s electoral comeuppance under Rishi Sunak and its attempted renewal with Kemi Badenoch at the helm, Bale tells the fascinating tale of a party that, in just a few short years, has gone from nervous breakdown to top of the world – and back again.
