Movement conservatism
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]
