One Nation Conservatism (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. 'One nation', 'one nation conservatism', and 'Tory democracy' are terms used in political debate in the United Kingdom to refer to a certain wing of the Conservative Party. The term denotes a political stance aspiring towards unity of the citizenry in the nation, as well as harmony between divergent classes and interest groups, as opposed to the social polarisation seen in the likes of both militant socialism and Thatcherism. The term derives indirectly from one of Benjamin Disraeli's political novels, Sybil, or the Two Nations, in which he described Britain as "Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets: the rich and the poor."
