Excerpt from Tory Democracy
This is a book for Tories. It is incidentally a criticism of Liberalism, Socialism, and Radicalism, and of the sentimentality which usually accompanies these isms. But I have aimed at making it more than anything else an accurate exposition of what the real policy of Conservatism is, and what it should be. The speeches of Conservative leaders in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the writings of the leader writers in most of the Conservative papers, make it quite clear that the party as a whole is muddled in regard to the essentials of its philosophical basis. It does not know the meaning of representative government. It does not know where its real strength lies; it does not sufficiently distinguish between the influence of land and the influence of capital. It does not see that its supporters are to be found among the working classes rather than among the middle classes.
