He considers the ethos of the Party within the context of statecraft theory, looking at the art of winning elections and of governing competently. The book opens with an examination of the triumph and subsequent degeneration of one-nation Conservatism in the 1945 to 1965 period, and closes with an analysis of the party's re-entry into government as a coalition with the Liberal Democrats in 2010, and of the developing ideology and approach of the Cameron-led Tory party in government. 2022-10-14T14:53:25Z 2022-10-14T14:53:25Z 2014 book ONIX_20221014_9781780931166_96 9781780931166 9781780931142 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58765 eng application/pdf n/a 9781780931142.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781472515452 10.5040/9781472515452 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781780931166 9781780931142 Bloomsbury Academic 224 London open access
