The Case for the Centre Right

"A superb case for the centre-right of politics – and a classic indictment of the deceptions of populism."
—The Rt Hon Sir John Major KG CH

"In an era of superficial sloganising and breathless soap opera it is easy to forget that what really matters in politics is ideas. This book is brimful of them. The Case for the Centre Right deserves to be at the heart of any debate about how to revive the Conservative Party and the country."
—Nick Robinson

"A timely and compelling intervention in the debate on the future of Conservatism."
—Andrew Gamble, University of Sheffield

“thoughtful and thought-provoking”
—Stephen Bush, Financial Times

“I can recommend The Case for the Centre Right, edited by David Gauke, which includes intelligent essays by contributors such as Rory Stewart, Dominic Grieve and Amber Rudd.”
—Matthew D’Ancona, Prospect

“The Case for the Centre Right contains much that is needed. All those who care for moderation in politics, from the centre left as well as the centre right, should applaud David Gauke for assembling an excellent collection of essays that sets out the issues starkly.”
—William Waldegrave, New Statesman

“In The Case for the Centre Right, David Gauke, Rory Stewart and other unfashionable types anatomise populism with cool intelligence.”
—Daniel Hannan, Telegraph

—Matthew E K Schlachter, Party Politics
