Description

Why do British politics so often play out on the Tories terms? What does this say about our democracy?

In his revelatory book, Samuel Earle explores the roots of the current crisis and the real reasons for the Conservatives unsettling success, from their ruling-class origins in the eighteenth century and their disproportionate influence of the British press to their stranglehold over national identity. He sheds light on the Conservatives historic appeal among the working classes and why the Labour Party so often disappoints.

Tory Nation describes the making of Britain through one partys astonishing power over us. Its only by reaching into our history, Earle argues, that we can understand how we got here and how we can find a way out.
