The British Conservative Party and One Nation Politics attempts to
reveal the true nature of Conservative Party politics by examining
the centrality of the myth of One Nation. The power and longevity
of such a concept is crucial to any understanding of the success of
the Conservative Party and this analysis of One Nation helps us to
lay bare the kernel of Conservative party politics per se. The use
of the term One Nation clearly matters for Conservative Party
politics, not just in its 'ancestral' use emanating from Disraeli's
1840s novels and his late nineteenth century rhetoric, but also
through Baldwin's speeches and to the failure of John Major to
replicate such a serene and contented image of the Nation in the
1990s. But as a concept for the Conservatives it means so much more
than mere imagery. It has been successfully utilized in their
'palaeontological' approach to their history in order to give the
impression that only the Party puts 'Nation' before any sectional
interest, that only the Conservative Party, as the national Party,
has the ability to assuage and balance the plurality of competing
interests on behalf of the Nation. It is because of this long and
successful utilization of the term 'One Nation' that so many within
the Party are so keen to lay claim to it.
