‘A witty, lucid investigation into one of the great mysteries of our time’ JONATHAN COE
‘Should be read and enjoyed by readers on the left, right and centre’ David Edgerton, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
_______________________________________________
Why is British politics so often played in Tory terms? What does this say about our democracy? In his revealing book, Samuel Earle examines the roots of the current crisis and the real reasons for the alarming success of the Conservatives, from their origins in the upper class in the 18th century and the disproportionate influence of the British press to their control over national identity. He sheds light on the historical appeal of the Conservatives among the working classes and why the Labour Party so often disappoints.
Tory Nation describes the evolution of Britain through the astonishing power of one party over us. Only by looking back at our history, Earle argues, can we understand how we got here and how we can find a way out.
