The Cornerstone Conservatives

A collection of essays has been published by a group of Conservative MPs which calls itself the Cornerstone Group.
.
The website is designed to make a case for a proud, authentic Conservatism that can revive Tory Britain.
.
Left, Robert Goodwill, one of the Cornerstone Conservatives.
.
In fact, the essays constitute both a manifesto and a challenge to the MPs currently putting themselves up for the Tory Party leadership. Upon how they react will the Group decide their support and it is hoped that other Conservatives MPs will follow the lead.
.
The works include a requirement for a renegotiation of Britain's membership of the European Union, radical reform of health and education. and taking millions of low paid workers and pensioners out of tax, plus much, much more. The essays can be downloaded here .
.
If support for the manifesto is not forthcoming, the Group may consider putting up their own candidate in the Conservative Party leadership election.
.
Is this the start of a break up of the Conservative party or just a policy initiative. Interesting ?
