Description
The Conservative Party was once a unified force, able to steadily maintain power. But today’s Tories are in constant turmoil. How did they become the party of chaos? Since Brexit there’s been a revolving door of leaders, the rise of tribalism within the party and a series of humiliating byelection losses. Alex Andreou is joined by professor of politics at Queen Mary University Tim Bale to try and understand this shift in conservative politics.     • “Everything that top Tories say needs to be considered as part of their future leadership contest.” – Tim Bale  • “Without Brexit, we wouldn't have seen the turmoil that we've seen over the last decade.”  – Tim Bale    We are sponsored by Indeed.
