Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract This article aims to evaluate the strategic positioning and ideology of the Conservatives in Coalition, under the leadership of David Cameron. In so doing, it seeks to shed light on the key drivers of the party’s elite leadership strategy since entering government in 2010. The analysis is framed in terms of statecraft, namely the attempt to carve out elite control of the main fields of ‘high politics’, with the objective of devising a successful electoral appeal and image of governing competence. The analysis is structured around three phases of Coalition governance: civilised partnership, uneasy cohabitation, and divorce.

  • Where Next for the Liberal Democrats?
    Where next for the Liberal Democrats? Tim Bale Aron Cheung Alan Wager It has, to put it mildly, been a difficult twelve months for the Liberal Democrats. A year ago this week, polling conducted by YouGov and Ipsos Mori showed their support at 20% – a level the party had not enjoyed since they’d entered their ill-fated coalition with the Conservatives in the spring of 2010. Nine long years later, they were daring to dream once again: could it be that, under Jo Swinson, we would soon see the UK’s electoral map coloured with the same amount of Lib Dem yellow that Charles Kennedy and, latterly, Nick Clegg had once achieved? The answer, of course, was no. The general election that followed was a not just an electoral disappointment but a disaster – so much so that Swinson herself lost her seat. Not only that, but the party’s main policy aim – to reverse the Brexit decision – lay in tatters. Yet, despite these setbacks, the new electoral geography of the post-Brexit era brings with it challenges but also opportunities for the Liberal Democrats – existential questions but also, if they can exploit their new electoral coalition, some potential answers. This short paper hopes to set all this out just as ballots open for the party’s new leader. Putting the 2019 result in historical context The eleven seats the Liberal Democrats won in December 2019 may have represented a slight decline on the dozen the party achieved in 2017 under Tim Farron; but they also represented a near-halving of the 21 which, following multiple defections, the party went into the general election defending.

  • SIMPLIFIED PLANNING Planning Regulations, in Particular, Remain Notoriously Complex
    In common with all recent Governments, the Coalition has often declared its ambition to “cut red tape”. Yet only modest gains have been achieved. SIMPLIFIED PLANNING Planning regulations, in particular, remain notoriously complex. 118 Acts combine to create a “lawyer’s banquet” of complexity. The result is an unnecessarily lengthy and costly planning procedure which enables vested interests to prosper, Simplifi ed planning creates commercial uncertainty and restricts new development. The renewed interest in Garden Cities is to be welcomed. Applying the lessons of The case for sunset clauses the success of Milton Keynes (and that of the Urban Development Corporations) could lead to a new era of privately-fi nanced Garden Cities, thereby easing the current housing shortage while also spurring growth. KEITH BOYFIELD AND INNA ALI The fi rst step must be to rationalise all planning regulation in a New Consolidated Act.; and to introduce sunset clauses for all new planning regulations.

  • The Place for Radical Liberalism in the 21 Century
    THINK PIECE #93 The place for Radical Liberalism in the 21st century Chris Bowers and Paul Pettinger January 2018 ABOUT THE AUTHORS THINK PIECE Chris Bowers is a two-term Liberal Democrat #93 district councillor (including a spell as group leader), a three-time parliamentary candidate, author of Nick Clegg: the biography and Elections for Sale?, and co-editor with Caroline Lucas and Lisa Nandy of The Alternative. Paul Pettinger is a former city councillor and Lib Dem HQ employee who has spent the last eight years campaigning to ensure state-funded schools better promote integration. He sits on the boards of the Electoral Reform Society and Compass. ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION This paper was written by two Liberal Democrats with close links to Compass, to stimulate discussion within the Lib Dems about formulating the party's policy platform in a way that is both true to the party's radical roots and could make it part of any future Progressive Alliance. This paper is aimed at offering policy input to the review of Party Strategy currently being undertaken by the Federal Board. It makes the case for the party to embrace and advance radical liberalism in today’s political context. It is deliberately short in order to make its point, even at risk of cutting a few corners. The authors are delighted to make the paper available to Compass members and supporters in the hope that readers inside the Lib Dems and in other progressive parties and none see the radical side to Party that is essential to the electoral and political future of progressive politics.
