As part of The Bow Group’s conservative political thought series our next event will be with the academic Roger Scruton. This debate will discus British conservatism and its role in the Conservative party.<\/p>\n
The central questions of this debate will be: Where should the should the Conservatives be heading ideologically? How is conservatism relevant to modern Britain and 21st Century issues?<\/p>\n
