One Nation Conservatism aka One-Nationism or Tory Democracy is a economically centre-left to centre-right, culturally centre to centre-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. However it has made somewhat of a comeback in the 21st century, though most of it's modern proponents are generally more economically liberal.

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, from 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, prefering Chicago economics over keynesean welafrism.
