Boris Johnson and Beyond: The Revival of One Nation Conservatism?

This specific electoral context, together with the stated aim of “levelling up” and the increased role for the central state necessitated by the Covid pandemic, created the opportunity for an ideological shift within the Conservative Party from Thatcherism to a revived form of One Nation Conservatism.

The extent to which Johnson can be defined as a One Nation Conservative or be said to have left behind a One Nation legacy are evaluated in this article. L'élection de Boris Johnson avec une majorité parlementaire substantielle en décembre 2019 a vu le Parti conservateur gagner un grand nombre de sièges auparavant acquis aux travaillistes, situés dans des zones pauvres et post-industrielles (le fameux « mur de briques rouges »). Ce contexte électoral spécifique, ainsi que l'objectif déclaré de « nivellement par le haut » et le rôle accru de l'État central rendu nécessaire par la pandémie de la Covid, ont créé l'opportunité d'un changement idéologique au sein du Parti conservateur, passant du thatchérisme à une forme revivifiée du conservatisme One Nation. Cependant, la course à la tête du parti en 2022 et la tentative désastreuse de Liz Truss de faire revivre le libéralisme économique ont montré à quel point ce changement n'a pas eu lieu. Cet article tente de comprendre la façon dont Johnson peut être considéré comme un conservateur One Nation ou comme celui ayant laissé un héritage One Nation.
