8: SOCIAL CONSERVATISM AND “DIFFICULT” QUESTIONS

A very important aspect where Conservatives always lose points is the so called “socially progressive” questions. The strength, but also the vulnerability, of the Conservative movement is their attachment to the core values. This allows the left-wing parties to mercilessly bully the Tories for not being “modern enough, tolerant enough, and progressive enough” and not …

7: WINNING THE ELECTION

If we want to win the next election, besides having the right platform and the right, smart leader, we need to make some important tactical moves. We need to dismantle the Liberal “mediacracy”.

2: THE WORLD, AS IT STANDS NOW

To build a better, responsible, winning platform for the CPC, we must start with the realization of the complexities of the modern world.
