One Nation Conservatism aka One-Nationism or Tory Democracy is an economically and culturally centre-left to centre-right ideology. Similar to Paternalistic Conservatism and Christian Democracy, it advocates the preservation of established institutions and traditional principles within a political democracy, combined with economic and social programs that benefit the working class. It believes that society develops in an organic way instead of engineering. Founded by UK Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli in the 1840s. After the post-war consensus in 1945, it became the prominent ideology of the Conservative Party. Up until the leadership of Margaret Thatcher in the late 70s, which moved the party towards Neoliberalism. However it has made somewhat of a comeback in the 21st century, though most of its modern proponents are generally more economically liberal and socially liberal.

One Nation Labour
One Nation Labour is an economically and culturally centre-left ideology based on the views and policies of former Labour leader Ed Miliband. It is a rebranded form of Social Democracy (soft left) that takes influence from both Disraeli's idea of One-Nationism and the policies of Clement Attlee. It also takes a few more patriotic stances, specifically on immigration. The current Labour leader Keir Starmer's platform can be seen as reconciling the soft left policies of One-Nation Labour and third-way politics of Blairism.
Borisism
Borisism represents the policies of the former UK prime minister and leader of the Tory party, Boris Johnson, it is culturally centre-right, mildly authoritarian, economically centre to centre-right and British Little England nationalist ideology.
History
19th Century
The term, One-Nation Conservatism, has been around since Benjamin Disraeli declared in 1837 that “the Tory party, unless it is a national party, is nothing”. In his book, Sybil, or The Two Nations, published in 1845, Disraeli suggested that the rich and poor were “as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets” - and therefore were two separate nations.
20th Century
The meaning of One-Nation Conservatism has “changed confusingly over the years. In the late 19th century, Disraeli’s successor, Lord Salisbury, altered the meaning to uniting the kingdom, rather than the classes. Then, in the 1940s, the term was reinvented for the age of the welfare state, to refer to a new form of Conservative paternalism.
Margaret Thatcher abandoned One Nation Conservatism, preferring Chicago economics over Keynesian welfarism.
21st Century
The group published a written declaration, explaining its values:

Friends

- National Conservatism - WE GOT BREXIT DONE!
- Nordic Model - Great ideas!
- Bismarckism - Based!
- Reactionary Socialism - Young England were based! They even made me their leader!
- Christian Democracy - My pals from Germany.
- Bull Moose Progressivism - In some ways, he's my more culturally left-leaning American counterpart.
- Rockefeller Republicanism - Similar to the above, but much more closer to my views.
- Police Statism - He loves my crime bills.
- Neoconservatism - May both our Nations be allies for eternity.
- Imperialism - “The continent may be a blot, but it is not a blot upon our conscience. The problem is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge anymore.” -Boris Johnson
- Social Capitalism and Ordo-Liberalism - Freiburg school is pretty based.
- Classical Conservatism - You got da house of commons, mate!
Aren't you mad that BoJo has been married 3 times? - Regulationism - Fellow loicense fan.
Frenemies
- Authoritarian Democracy - I respect democracy, but once elected a leader must evade corruption.
Just ignore that Boris is a corrupt cronyist. - Labour Party - I may not like them, but they're still worthy opponents. We share similar sentiments but you lack the conservative side.
- Globalism - I got no issue with free trade, but can you stay in your lane when it comes to government?
- Welfare Chauvinism - Good ideas, but too extreme and kinda racist.
- Liberal Conservatism - We used to be friendly, but then we had a huge falling out over Brexit.
- Right-Wing Populism - Thanks for helping me win the election, but I'm worried you're starting to turn on me.
- Starmerism - Based patriotism and communitarianism, but why socialism?
- Neoliberalism - Free Trade and Capitalism work well for the people, most of the time but there is something called "a society" Maggie (ding dong she is dead). I prefer Friedburg or Keynesianism over Chicago economics anyway. It appears Truss is just Thatcher reborn (who thankfully quit after 45 days).
- Trumpism - I used to support you, however, I also criticized you a lot. BoJo was notoriously compared to you because of his haircut. But I kinda like how The Biden Guy who opposes Putin.
And yes, I did endorse Obama's campaign in the past. - Liberal Democrats - We used to be very tense, but in the recent decades, I've been more open to the free-market and BoJo was culturally moderate. We both oppose Corbyn. But it’s a shame that you are a Eurofederalist cuck.
Enemies
- Marxism–Leninism - No rights? Damn, unbased.
- Nazism - Yeah, committing mass genocide isn't based.
- Fascism - Sir, we beat you in WW2. And you failed because of your obsession with totalitarianism.
- Corbynism - Worst enemies of my factions in both major parties!
- Islamic Theocracy - Islam sets societies back.
- Alt-Lite - I'm lifting restrictions, now! Calm down! What's wrong with "Built back better", anyways?
- Putinism - Tyrant and rashist. That's why I support Ukraine against you and embargoed your oil exports.
Wait, BoJo was a corrupt authcon too?
