"I'm a one-nation Tory. There is a duty on the part of the rich to the poor and to the needy, but you are not going to help people express that duty and satisfy it if you punish them fiscally so viciously that they leave this city and this country. I want London to be a competitive, dynamic place to come to work."

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

Summary:
What is #OneNation Conservatism?

Beliefs

One-Nation Conservatism advocates the preservation of established institutions and traditional principles within a political democracy, in combination with social and economic programmes designed to benefit the ordinary person.

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.

Relations

Friends

Frenemies

  • Social Democracy - Don’t be tempted to level down the hard-earned wealth of others. A welfare state to help the poor is an excellent idea though. The Labour Party may be my opponents, but they are worthy ones nonetheless.
  • Welfare Chauvinism - Fellow welfare nationalist, but you just had to take it too far.
  • 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 - At first I thought you’d build socialism, and I predicted that Home Rule would tear most of Ireland away from Mother Britannia. For what it’s worth, however, you did fight against the Sinn Fein rebellions and just stuck to welfare. We also worked together during the Great War and its immediate aftermath.
  • National Conservatism - You make good points but pipe down chap.
  • Cultural Nationalism - Only good if you accept a single British culture.
  • Pan-Nationalism - United Kingdom? Yes. United Ireland? No. Unless it’s under the Union Jack, that is. And like I said before, a European superstate doesn’t sound good.
  • 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.
  • 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 rhetoric, 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, though recently I've found you quite amendable, especially with our common opposition to 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!
  • Fascism, Nazism, and Showa Statism - Evil ideologies that we thankfully defeated in WW2.
  • Arab Socialism - An anti-semitic, self-proclaimed socialist who expands his territory through force? Sounds familiar… Now give us back the canal! Never mind, America says it’s yours.
  • Marxism–Leninism - Why a free society must ensure the lower classes can eat. Still better than them , if by a very narrow margin.
  • Democratic Socialism - You just completely ignored the advice I gave SocDem, didn’t you? Thanks to your incompetence Thatcher was able to take over my party and the country, well played(!)
  • 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.
  • Multiculturalism - The cultural equivalent of Federalism- not good at all. Go home or face arrest.
  • Alt-Lite - Immature youth.
  • Alt-Right - Delinquent youth.
  • Left-Wing Nationalism - IRA? Go away.
  • Republicanism - Can’t you hear? Go away!
  • Ultranationalism - The EDL and Britain First spread hateful narratives which peddle lies and stoke tensions.
  • 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.
  • Left-Wing Populism - Absolute bollocks.
  • National Liberalism - UKIP and Powell are both racist rabble rousers and economic libtards.
  • 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!
  • State Liberalism - Irresponsible capitalism, anti-nationalism, and state-enforced wokeness?! Ghastly.
