British Conservatism, Family Law and the Problem of Change
PSA Annual Conference 2014, Midland Hotel, Manchester Conservatives and Conservatism Specialist Group Panel One: Constitutionalism, Rights and the Law in British Conservatism From ‘Pretended Family Relationship’ to ‘Ultimate Affirmation’: British Conservatism and the Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Relationships Andrew Gilbert Principal Lecturer in Law, Anglia Ruskin University PhD Candidate, Faculty of Laws, UCL The legal regulation of the family in a liberal state often gives rise to controversy. It is also an area where conservative commitments to tradition and institutions are tested in the face of (proposed) innovations in family law and policy. How to deal with non- heterosexuality has been a particular source of tension within the body of postwar Conservatism, laying bare the authoritarian and libertarian dispositions at war in its members. This paper will first sketch out the Conservative Party’s record on homosexual law reform since the 1980s, and then go on to consider arguments around the legal recognition of same-sex relationships in relevant political thought. This discussion will then inform the examination of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 and the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act. The article concludes by observing that, while there were some similarities in the Party’s approach to the two Bills, conservative arguments in favour of the legal recognition of same-sex relationships were more readily articulated in the civil partnership debates chiefly because it was seen as an evolutionary innovation and there was no existing institution which would be the subject of change. How Conservatives perceived notions of change in the legislation was indicative of whether the Bills would attract their support (and vice versa), signifying the limited utility of a classical conservative understanding of change as a practical theory for supporting major social developments.
