| Summary: | Despite winning the December 2019 General Election, the Conservative parliamentary party is a moribund organization. It no longer speaks for, or to, the British people. Its leadership has sacrificed the long-standing commitment to the Union to 'Get Brexit Done.' And beyond this, it is an intellectual vacuum, propped up by half-baked doctrine and magical thinking. The Party's Over offers an explanation for how the Tory party came to position itself on the edge of the precipice and offers a series of answers to a question seldom addressed. As the party is poised to press the self-destruct button, what kind of role and future can it have? |
