The Centre for Policy Studies is facilitating a series of meetings, gathering together Conservatives from all points of view within the Party along with representatives from interested think tanks, to discuss the future of Tory philosophy and strategy. The objective of these gatherings is not to debate detailed policy but to attempt to find a common language with which the various factions (so-called “modernisers” and “traditionalists”) might feel comfortable, as a frame of reference for the Party’s presentation of itself.
