    April 2010 THE STATE OF THE RIGHT: GREAT BRITAIN David HANLEY www.fondapol.org THE STATE OF THE RIGHT: GREAT BRITAIN David HANLEY The Fondation pour l’innovation politique is a liberal, progressive and European foundation President: Nicolas Bazire Vice-president: Charles Beigbeder Chief Executive Officer: Dominique Reynié [email protected] General Secretary: Corinne Deloy [email protected] THE STATE OF THE RIGHT: GREAT BRITAIN David HANLEY Emeritus Professor of European Studies at the University of Cardiff (Wales) In comparison with most continental states, the terms “left” and “right” are used infrequently in British political discourse. This does not mean that such realities do not exist in Britain: they do in all developed states. It is simply that the British label them differently. British people usually refer to the opposition between Conservatives (or Tories1) and Labour. In other words, the right-left distinction, which in France is sometimes also understood as an opposition between “order” and “movement”, is seen as being firmly incarnated within two institutions, namely the main political parties. There is no real tradition of theorising the nature of the right almost independently of those forces in which it finds expression. An approach such René Rémond’s, which postulates the existence of (at least) three distinct types of right-wing tradition in France, could have no real equivalent in Britain.2 At most, one could speak of a number of variants of conservatism, but all these would be understood as lying firmly within the ambit of one major historical party. Using the classic typology of modern parties developed by Stein Rokkan, it is clear that the British two-class/two-party model (as the British party system has been called) postulates an opposition between the interests of the propertied (understood very broadly) and those of the propertyless.3 1.

George Saints bury's The Earl of Derby (1892) was written from the point of view of a Tory 'who would, at the respective times and in the respective circumstances, have opposed Catho­ lic Emancipation, Reform, the Repeal of the Corn Laws, and the whole Irish Legislation of Mr Gladstone'. T. E. Kebbel's Life of the Earl of Derby (1890) shared much the same attitude. Lord Derby and Victorian Conservatism (Oxford, 1956) by Wilbur Devereux Jones added much information but continued to rely on papers other than Derby's. A new biography, using Derby's papers, is promised by Lord Blake. Robert Stewart's The Politics of Protection (Cambridge, 1971), dealing with the period up to 1852, is largely based on the Derby MSS. Disraelian literature is vast, and it is impossible here to mention more than a personal selection of volumes. However, Robert Blake's Disraeli (1966; 1969) contains a useful list of Disraeli's own publications and a select bibliography. Lord Blake's sympathetic study, based on modern research, is invaluable.

It enables us to decide what is or is not legitimate, and to change our minds if something better comes along. But democracy itself cannot bring about change. In deciding what is acceptable and what needs to be reformed, we first have to provide the options, by imagining for ourselves how things could be other than they are, or by seeking out a diversity of other points of view; those of the lone maverick with a controversial idea as well as the accumulated wisdom of the great movements of history. Seeking out such options and thinking through the consequences of choice and change is a continuous process. It is also hard work, and reformers need all the help and encouragement they can get. Joseph Rowntree knew that better than most, having made a lifelong study of poverty and the other g reat social ills of Victorian England. By the turn of the nineteenth century he had also made a considerable fortune from the chocolate and confectionery company that bore his name, and was thus better placed than most to lend financial support to the cause of reform and social improvement.

  • The British Army in Home Defense, 1844-1871: Militia and Volunteers in a Liberal Era
    The British Army in Home Defense, 1844-1871: Militia and Volunteers in a Liberal Era DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stephen Judah Shapiro, Hons. B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jennifer Siegel, Advisor Professor Geoffrey Parker Professor Christopher Otter Copyright by Stephen Judah Shapiro 2011 Abstract For almost three decades, politics in mid-Victorian Britain were dominated by a loose but influential cross-class liberal political consensus. Extending beyond the parliamentary Liberal party, liberalism‘s influence spread into almost every aspect of public policy. This dissertation examines the impact of liberal politics and thought on the development of British military policy in the 1840s, 50s, and 60s through the lens of home defense. Britain was gripped by major invasion panics in 1848, 1852, and 1859, each of which led to serious reconsiderations of home defense. Among the subsequent reforms and innovations were the fortification of England‘s southern coast, the revival of the militia, and the creation of the amateur Volunteer Force. The debate surrounding home defense offers the best path to examining the impact of a vibrant but conflicted political philosophy on military policy. It demonstrates the depth of liberalism‘s impact not just on British military policy but also on the assumptions on which that policy was based, as well as highlighting the importance of the relationship between political thought and the development of Britain‘s armed forces. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my family.

  • 45 Supplementary Notes on U.K. Liberal Party [NOTE: Our Sources
    45 Supplementary Notes on U.K. Liberal Party [NOTE: Our sources cover only the period from 1895 through early 1976, and hence we don't yet know whether there were any changes in dominant coalition from 1975 through 1987, when the merger took place.] As far as we can tell from Douglas' The History of the Liberal Party 1895-1970 (1971) and Cook (cited below), there was no change of dominant coalition from 1950 until the 1970s. According to Cook's A Short History of the Liberal Party 1900- 1976 (1976), a radical, left-oriented, "Young Liberals" group began to make itself known in the mid 1960s, and became a major factor in the direction of the manifesto, in upper level party posts, plus in candidacies for parliament, by the early 1970s. According to Cook (p 148), already by 1966: "Among Thorpe's many difficulties within the party, the growing radical militancy of the Young Liberals was perhaps the most pronounced." They evidently tried to take control of the party in 1966, or at least have an impact on its direction, but failed. After that, the Young Liberals and the "party hierarchy" grew even further apart, with "virtual civil war" occurring in very early in 1970, largely over tactics (i.e., willingness to accept responsibility for actions of "sabatoge" of cricket facilities.) Later in 1970, after a change of Young Liberal leadership, the emphasis on "community politics" -- which began in the Young Liberals a few years earlier, became even more clear, and now the party's conference adopted "a radical Young Liberal resolution which proposed that the party should start campaigning and working on a community level." Though the YL's were now having an impact, it seems too early -- given the limited nature of the effect thus far -- to claim that there had been a dramatic shift in the dominant coalition.
