The New Blue: Conservative candidates on new UK policy challenges

In The New Blue, the Social Market Foundation brings together leading Conservative parliamentary candidates to address the challenges faced by government and society. How can we raise aspirations and prevents the ‘marginalization’ of deprived communities? What policies should we introduce to help protect women and address violent crime? Can we stop the loss of faith in politics and politicians? Could the answer lie in a more compassionate economic policy? How can we meet the needs of cities while moving away from an urban bias in politics? What is the role of education in promoting our sense of community? As well as addressing key policy challenges, this collection provides an insight into the ideas of the next generation of Conservative thinkers that may well dominate politics in the years ahead.
