"Moderation is the center wherein all philosophies, both human and divine, meet."
One Nation Conservatism aka One-Nationism or Tory Democracy is an economically and culturally center-left to center-right ideology. Similar to Paternalistic Conservatism and Christian Democracy, it advocates the preservation of established institutions and traditional principles within a political democracy, combined with economic and social programs that benefit the working class. It believes that society develops in an organic way instead of engineering. Founded by UK Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli in the 1840s. After the post-war consensus in 1945, it became the prominent ideology of the Conservative Party. Up until the leadership of Margaret Thatcher in the late 70s, which moved the party towards Neoliberalism.
History
19th Century
The term, One-Nation Conservatism, has been around since Benjamin Disraeli declared in 1837 that “the Tory party, unless it is a national party, is nothing”. In his book, Sybil, or The Two Nations, published in 1845, Disraeli suggested that the rich and poor were “as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets” - and therefore were two separate nations.
20th Century
The meaning of One-Nation Conservatism has “changed confusingly over the years. In the late 19th century, Disraeli’s successor, Lord Salisbury, altered the meaning to uniting the kingdom, rather than the classes. Then, in the 1940s, the term was reinvented for the age of the welfare state, to refer to a new form of Conservative paternalism.
Margaret Thatcher abandoned One Nation Conservatism, preferring Chicago economics over Keynesian welfarism.
21st Century

Variants
Young England
Young England was a Victorian era political group with a political message based on an idealised feudalism: an absolute monarch and a strong Established Church, with the philanthropy of noblesse oblige as the basis for its paternalistic form of social organisation.
Personality
One-Nation Conservatism is often shown as paternalistic and is willed(obligated) to help the ones who are "under" him (though he does not like the idea of the lower class becoming socially "equal" classes). Besides these traits, he is a gentleman who is always polite and tries to understand others' views. His favorite term is noblesse oblige. He has a british accent as well.
How to Draw
The design of One-Nation Conservatism is based on the logo of the Tory Reform Group, an organisation that follows One-Nation principles.

Relations
Friends
- Paternalistic Conservatism - A lot of my ideas come from you!
- Protectionism - The Corn laws are necessary to protect English farmers from competition!
- Interculturalism - Scots, Gaels, the Irish, the English and Welsh, it doesn't matter we are all British.
- Bismarckism - My German form.
- Reactionary Socialism - Young England were the only good socialists!
- Guild Socialism - A good version of the above for modern times.
- Christian Democracy - My pals from Germany.
- Bull Moose Progressivism - In some ways, he's my American counterpart.
- Rockefeller Republicanism - You should've won 1964 and 1968, much better than that crook and wacko.
Eisenhower threatening to destroy sterling over Suez was a bit naff though. - Kemalism - Good work in Turkey!
- Police Statism - He loves my hostile environment.
Oops, the Windrush scandal happened. - Neoconservatism - May both our Nations be allies for eternity.
- Imperialism - 'Our Empire is an Empire of liberty, of truth and of justice'- Benjamin Disraeli.
Macmillan dismantled the Empire though. - Ordo-Liberalism - Freiburg school is pretty based for liberals.
- Classical Conservatism - Good ally, even if he can sometimes be a a bit too elitist and outdated.
- Regulationism - Fellow loicense fan.
- Progressive Conservatism - Jolly good work chap.
- Civic Nationalism - Citizenship based upon values is the best basis for a nation-state.
Frenemies
- Social Democracy - Just another levelling down socialist but your welfare state is a key British tradition so I shall defend it.
- Third Way - Milliband’s ‘One-Nation Labour’ was ok enough, but New Labour was just woke neoliberalism.
- Conservative Socialism - Your social views seem somewhat good. However, Brar and Galloway support Britain’s enemies-
opposing Scottish separatists is an honourable exception though.The socialism part goes a bit too far for me as well. - European Federalism - A decent partner, though I’m not too sure about this ‘federal Europe’ nonsense, especially if Britain is a part of it.
- New Liberalism - Anti unionist, anti capitalist libtards. Wait you executed all leaders of the Irish rebellion and quickly sent troops to protect the union? Maybe you're not that bad.
- National Conservatism - You make good points but pipe down chap.
- Cultural Nationalism - Only good if you accept a single British culture.
- Protestant Theocracy - Protestantism is an important part of British tradition- but no sectarianism, thank you very much.
- Catholic Theocracy - He is our state religion and will remain so, but I suppose you can practice your beliefs in private, as long as you’re not him.
- Absolute Monarchism - God save the King, but most of us (apart from Young England) think Parliament should be sovereign.
- Illiberal Democracy - I respect democracy, but once elected a leader must evade corruption.
- Nordic Model - Great ideas though way too pro labour for my liking.
- Labour Party - I may not like them, but they're still worthy opponents. We share similar sentiments but you lack the conservative side.
- Liberal Conservatism - Major and Cameron both claimed influence from me and May served as Dave’s Home Secretary. Cool it with the Austerity and Pro-Europeanism though.
- Right-Wing Populism - Standing up for the little man is based, however most of you are economic libtards and a bit too xenophobic.
Boris will steal some of your ideas, thank you very much. - Social Capitalism - Keith Joseph helped Maggie get rid of me, but we have become friendly recently. My modern ‘followers’ are basically you.
- Liberal Democrats - We used to be very tense, but in recent decades, I've found you quite amendable, and May was culturally moderate. We both oppose Corbyn. Shame you’re a neolib Eurofederalist.
- Conservative Liberalism - Churchill was great, especially in his second term, but Maggie and Truss are damned cheapskates with no regard to public needs.
- Fiscal Conservatism and Traditionalism - Balanced budgets and old traditions can work well, but we cannot be seen as the ‘nasty party’…
Enemies
- British Fascism - …And we certainly can’t be seen as the Nazi Party!
- Marxism–Leninism - Why a free society must ensure the lower classes can eat.
- Democratic Socialism - All you do is level down in your quest to achieve equality, which only makes the rich poorer, rather than helping the poor get richer. A welfare state will do just fine.
- Globalism - Only good if we are in charge.
- Cosmopolitanism - If you believe you're a citizen of the world, you're a citizen of nowhere.
- Federalism - Can only lead to…
- Separatism - Don’t you understand what ‘One-Nation’ means?
Brexit means Brexit. - Alt-Lite - Immature youth.
- Alt-Right - Delinquent youth.
- Left-Wing Nationalism - IRA? Go away.
- Welfare Chauvinism - Race baiters who conserve nothing but the building blocks to socialism.
- Neoliberalism - You destroyed Britain.
- Conservative Neoliberalism - There’s no point adding ‘Conservative’ to your name, you’re just as bad as him and don’t conserve anything.
- Nazism - Evil ideology, we thrashed you 80 years ago.
- Fascism - Sir, we beat you in WW2.
- Corbynism - Absolute bollocks.
- Left-Wing Populism - Same as above.
- Powellism - Racist rabble rouser.
- Putinism - I’ll support Ukraine and increase sanctions against you. Salisbury never forget!
- Gladstonian Liberalism - You want to destroy our society!
- Revolutionary Progressivism - And so do you!
- Jihadism - And you as well!
- Black Lives Matter - They do indeed, but please stop denouncing our national heroes. I’m sorry about Hostile Environment and the Windrush scandal, ok?!
- State Liberalism - Irresponsible capitalism, anti-nationalism, and state-enforced wokeness?! Ghastly.
