The British Conservative Party: What just happened? And what now?

Carter, E

Abstract

This piece examines the events that shook politics in the UK in the summer of 2022. It begins by chronicling what exactly happened. Then, it explores the background and the longer-term causes of the political and financial crisis that beset the country and the governing Conservative Party. Finally, it offers an assessment of the problems and challenges that the Conservative Party now faces, and considers the outlook for it and for the country. To be clear, it is a commentary piece, and so merely reflects the interpretation and views of the author
