At the Battle of Ideas in October, I produced a strand that examined the changing character of 20th century ideologies. Key to understanding the shift in recent years has been the decline in influence of western conservatism. It might be an odd question for individuals on the Left to mull over, but it is important in understanding how and why the post-political terrain came about.
Prior to this discussion, spiked published an article that set out many of these themes in The Decline and Fall of British Conservatism. It can be read here.
