In this SDPtalk, William Clouston is joined by writer Ed West to discuss social conservatism and the problems caused by lack of ideology in the Conservative party.
Ed and William discuss what social conservatives should believe in and the values they should strive for. They cover the importance of marriage and family, religion, culture, freedom of speech and of association, and crucially the need to think about posterity.
