The Tory Party: Its Policies, Divisions And Future by Trevor Russel

How far should the State intervene in the affairs of the country? To what degree should laissez-faire capitalism be allowed to thrive? How strong should a democratic government be? Ask a group of Tory MPs these questions and the odds are you will receive different replies; and this lack of consensus is preoccupying the higher echelons of the leadership. What they decide will shape the future policies of the party. A "centre" Tory, Trevor Russel examines the political stance of the main characters -Mrs Thatcher, Sir Keith Joseph, Mr Heath- and the differences that divide them, and assesses the likely outcome of the present debate. Dealing with such thorny probems as industry, unions, monetary policies, race and welfare, he offers the layman a critical, but enthusiastic, guide to what the Conservative Party of the 1970s is all about.
