Who coined the phrase “one nation”? (The answer is not Disraeli.) Who gave women the vote on the same terms as men? Which Tory minister got 300,000 new homes built each year? How many industries did Margaret Thatcher privatise?
The answers to these questions –and many others—can be found in Alistair Lexden’s well-known booklet, A Party of Change: A Brief History of the Conservatives, now available in a new updated edition with a summary of the work of David Cameron’s government since 2010.
In his foreword, the Prime Minister writes: “Conservatives take pride in their history. This useful publication will help us understand our history better”.
