Download or read book A Radical Tory written by Garfield Barwick and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Garfield Barwick wrote the story of his public life. At the age of 92, he had been at the centre of Australian legal and political life for over half a century. The story starts in the inner suburbs of Sydney walking to the renowned Fort Street High School. Sydney University in the 1920s follows and a struggling career at the Bar takes hold before all is lost in the Great Depression. Civilian service in World War II was followed by triumph in the Bank Nationalisation Case. The defeat of the Chifley Government's legislation established Sir Garfield's reputation as an advocate in Australia and in the United Kingdom. It led to a decade of unparalleled dominance of the Australian Bar when he continually appeared in the High Court and led in such public inquiries as the Petrov Royal Commission. It also established Sir Garfield in the public mind as a Liberal Party man and in 1958, at the age of 56, he entered Parliament. He served six years, almost all on the front bench as a reforming Attorney-General as Minister for External Affairs focussing on Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. He resigned to become Chief Justice of the High Court in 1964 and in the next 18 years gave judgments delineating power in modern Australia: citizen and government, States and the Commonwealth, executive and legislature. Most notably, he provided crucial and controversial advice to the Governor-General in the 1975 Dismissal Crisis.

Download or read book Riding the Populist Wave written by Tim Bale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the fact that Conservative, Christian democratic and Liberal parties continue to play a crucial role in the democratic politics and governance of every Western European country, they are rarely paid the attention they deserve. This cutting-edge comparative collection, combining qualitative case studies with large-N quantitative analysis, reveals a mainstream right squeezed by the need to adapt to both 'the silent revolution' that has seen the spread of postmaterialist, liberal and cosmopolitan values and the backlash against those values – the 'silent counter-revolution' that has brought with it the rise of a myriad far right parties offering populist and nativist answers to many of the continent's thorniest political problems. What explains why some mainstream right parties seem to be coping with that challenge better than others? And does the temptation to ride the populist wave rather than resist it ultimately pose a danger to liberal democracy?

Download or read book George Orwell and the Tory Radical Tradition written by William Edward Laskowski and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The often-noticed contradictions in George Orwell's writings can be explained by placing him in a long-standing tradition in English letters, the Tory-Radical. Although critics (including Orwell himself) have briefly remarked on his affinities with this tradition, it has never been clearly defined. Basically, the Tory-Radicals constantly strive to balance the claims of the individual (the Tory component, as Hazlitt terms it) against the duties which that individual owes to the solidarity of the group (the Radical strain). This tradition can be said to have begun with Swift, been carried on by Cobbett, been commented on (and to a certain extent exemplified) by Hazlitt, have grown to fruition in the various strains of Medievalism during the nineteenth century (such as those of Carlyle, Disraeli, Ruskin, and Morris), and culminated in the polemical writings of Chesterton and Belloc during the first decades of the twentieth century. Although theirs is not a formulaic political program, the chief thrust of the Tory-Radicals is political. They fear a domination of the few over the many -- and above all, over the individual. The individual finds the sense of self, both political and personal, almost entirely in the past, which forms the Tory-Radicals' basis of evaluative comparison. In the same vein, they base their economic theories on the independence of the individual: self-sufficiency (autarchy, as Orwell termed it). Finally, the Tory-Radicals are notorious for their insistence on simple, clear prose -- "like a window pane." Orwell's ultimate contribution to this tradition is the late pair of contradictory linguistic statements, "Politics and the English Language" and the invented language Newspeak in Nineteen Eighty-Four. While Orwell insists in the essay that "the fewest and shortest words" are the most desirable, Newspeak reveals Orwell's fear that such a truncated language, totally divorced from abstract meanings, can impose a tyranny much more long-lasting than any windy or pretentious bureaucratese could ever lead to. This linguistic "doublethink" is the culminating example of the tension that the Tory-Radical tradition produced in Orwell--P.ix-x.

Download or read book The Tory View of Landscape written by Nigel Everett and published by Paul Mellon Ctr for Studies. This book was released on 1994 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, it seemed to many that England was being transformed by various kinds of 'improvements' in agriculture and industry, in gardening and the ornamentation of landscape. Such changes were understood to reflect matters of the greatest importance in the moral, social and political arrangements of the country. In the area of landscape design, to clear a wood, or plant one, to build a folly or a cottage, to design in the formal style or the picturesque, was to express a political orientation of one kind or another. To choose to employ Capability Brown, Humphry Repton or one of their lesser-known competitors, was to make a statement regarding the history of England, its constitutional organisation and the relationships that ought to exist between its citizens. Although many landowners may have been oblivious to this, there was a large body of critical opinion, poetry, theology and social discourse that offered to inform and correct them. In this illuminating and stimulating book, Nigel Everett reviews the entire debate, from about 1760 to 1820, emphasising in particular the attempts of various writers to defend a 'traditional' or tory view of the landscape against the aggressive, privatising tendency of improvement. Challenging the narrow implications of the existing schools of landscape historians - the 'establishment' historians, concerned primarily with currents of 'taste', who ignore the wider issues involved, and the commentators on the Left who have tended to see landscape politics as the politics of class - Everett reveals the history of English landscape as a political struggle between, on the one hand, the mechanical, universal and impersonal - whig - point of view and, on the other, the natural, Christian, particular and organic point of view. Everett depicts a lively, intelligent debate regarding the development of English society, as active among cultivated clergymen and landowners as among the theoreticians. Furthermore, analysing the languages of tory political thought, Everett engages in a dialogue between the present and the past, identifying in the detached, artificial and utilitarian attitudes of the whig 'improvers' the philosophical and historical origins of a dominant set of values of the late twentieth century - most recently expressed in the Conservative Party - in which the interests of private enterprise and commercial utility preponderate over any other conception of the public good. This important and passionate book makes an essential and original contribution to the study of eighteenth-century cultural history in Britain.
