Crossbow magazine: A conservative Manifesto for the Party & the Nation
Party Conference season should be a critical, indispensable time in the British Political calendar for the nation’s most prominent political movements to come together, listen to each other and the nation, remember core principles and make a pitch for a better government.
The Bow Group won’t be taking part in Conservative Party Conference this year, because after a long campaign for greater freedom and democracy in the Conservative Party and at its Conference, we feel that genuine forum for conservatism for the freedom and democracy of Conservative Party members remains absent from the event, in favour of a corporate venue for press and lobbyists.
We hope to return next year, under a conservative government, to engage with a reformed Party and a reformed Conference. That is why we have produced our vision and blueprint for a conservative party, and a conservative Britain: A conservative Manifesto.
