Theresa May and the Conservative Will to Power

13 December 2018

Professor Tim Bale published an opinion piece for The New York Times on Theresa May’s victory of the vote of no confidence. He writes: “Clearly, it’s proving incredibly hard right now to fulfill the decision to leave the European Union. But because there’s still more that unites the Conservative Party than divides it — particularly when it comes to keeping taxes and regulation low, keeping capital flowing, and keeping a socialist Labour Party out of power — even Brexit, in the end, is unlikely to tear it apart.”
