Robert Halfon, Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party and MP for Harlow speaks to ConHome regarding the party reviewThe Conservative Party is perhaps the greatest political movement in the Western world: it has been at the forefront of fighting oppression abroad and ahead of the great debates on free trade, social justice, and democratic politics. Our members and leaders fought to end slavery, brought in the corn laws for cheaper food tariffs, legislated for trade unionism, ensured that all women had the vote, protected Britain from Nazism, built thousands of houses for working people, enabled people on low incomes to buy their own home and – with regularity – brought our country back to recovery when facing the economic precipice.
