Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

Libby McEnhill argues that it is wrong to see Cameron’s ’One Nation’ Conservatism and Thatcherite Conservatism as though they represent opposites in their approaches to welfare and the role and responsibilities of the state. In essence, both see danger in an expanded state and share the same ideological foundations.
