Movement Conservatism has been described by Paul Krugman as "the potent alliance of wealthy individuals, corporate interests and the religious right that took shape in the 1960s and 1970s."[1]

Britain

In Britain, Tim Montgomerie, has described the conservative movement as "the infrastructure outside of the party that supports small 'c' conservative values."[2]

A March 2009 presentation by Montgomerie and Matthew Elliott listed a number of organisations as part of the British conservative movement:

Institute of Economic Affairs | Centre for Policy Studies | Reform | Adam Smith Institute | Policy Exchange | Centre for Social Justice | Civitas | International Policy Network | Taxpayers' Alliance | ConservativeHome | New Culture Forum | Standpoint | Migration Watch UK | Countryside Alliance | Centre for Social Cohesion[3]

Elliott's slides (pictured right) compared this with the smaller size of the movement in 1997. According to Montgomerie the comparison was intended to be indicative rather than comprehensive.[3] A fuller list from 2011 might include:

2020 Health | Atlantic Bridge | Adam Smith Institute | Better Off Out | Big Brother Watch | Bow Group | Bruges Group | Campaign for an English Parliament | Campaign for the Protection for Rural England | Centre for Policy Studies | Centre for Social Cohesion | Centre for Social Justice | Christian Conservative Fellowship | Civitas | Conservative Education Society | ConservativeHome | Conservative Party | Conservative Philosophy Group | Countryside Alliance | Democracy Institute | Direct Democracy | Drivers Alliance | Doctors for Reform | Economic Policy Centre | Enterprise Forum | European Foundation | Family Education Trust | First Defence | Freedom Alliance | Freedom Association | Freedom Zone | The Free Society | Global Vision | Global Warming Policy Foundation | Henry Jackson Society | Institute of Ideas | Institute of Directors | Institute of Economic Affairs | International Policy Network | Legatum Institute | Localis | Message Space | Migration Watch | New Culture Forum | Nothing British about the BNP | Nurses for Reform | Open Europe | Policy Exchange | Politeia | Progressive Vision | Reform | Reform Scotland | ResPublica | Selsdon Group | Social Affairs Unit | Social Market Foundation | Spiked | Standpoint | Student Rights | Sunlight COPS | Taxpayers Alliance | TEA Party UK | UK National Defence Association | UKIP | Young Britons Foundation
