Is conservatism in Britain broken beyond repair? Tim Montgomerie thinks it’s time for a reformation on the right. In the latest Mini Election video, I speak to the Times columnist and founder of ConservateHome about his new project The Good Right, which sets out his proposals for reuniting and reinvigorating the conservative movement.
Given that the Conservative Party hasn’t won a majority since 1992, Montgomerie says the party needs to delve into its history pre-1979 and remember that the state can sometimes deliver the best answers — house building for example. He also thinks there are some upsides to David Cameron’s efforts to modernise the party but the project was too focused on attracting Guardian readers instead of disaffected conservatives. Watch the video above to find out more.
