About the Book

After fourteen years of Conservative government, we rightly ask what changed for the better or worse during this prolonged period of power? The country experienced significant challenges including austerity, Brexit and Covid: did they militate against the government's making more lasting impact? Bringing together some of the leading authorities in the field, this book examines the impact of Conservative rule on a wide range of economic, social, foreign and governmental areas. Anthony Seldon, Tom Egerton and their team uncover the ultimate 'Conservative effect' on the United Kingdom. With powerful insights and fresh perspectives, this is an intriguing study for anyone seeking to understand the full scope of the Conservative government's influence on our nation. Drawing the immediate lessons from the last fourteen years will be pivotal if the country is to rejuvenate and flourish in the future.

Review :
'damning indictment of Tory rule…15 nearly always brutal judgements…probing the differences governments make shorn of the distortions of party-politics and the ephemera of day-to-day public debate…should be read by all political geeks, but most of all, if he can find the time, by the man who will next occupy No 10, Keir Starmer. It offers a withering obituary on a political chapter that has done much harm and little good.' Mark Hennessy, Irish Time 'The Conservative Effect explores how theatrical short-termism & specious rhetoric defined 14 years of mis-rule.' Rowan Williams, New Statesman '… a well-timed assessment by expert contributors of the succession of Conservative governments from 2010 to the defeat in July 2024.' Patricia Thane, Society '… a must-read book …' Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs '… a well-timed assessment by expert contributors of the succession of Conservative governments from 2010 to the defeat in July 2024.' Patricia Thane, Society
