The political route facing conservatives in Britain after the seemingly inevitable drubbing on the 4th of July:There is no right track but a combination of tracks
Interesting, not sure if there is a clear resolution but at least there is a discussion to be had here. What is conservatism? What is the future direction of the party or the idea? You need at least to be thinking these things out aloud. I doubt many Tory MPs have any idea what they believe or want. The problem as well if we try to be all things to all people you end up being nothing to no one.
It should be a simple starting point for politicians, but you don’t get the feeling that they are overly concerned by the wellbeing of the people as a whole. In practice they end up paralyzed between big picture problems (inflation, national debt, global security) and low level sectional groups who all clamour for attention. People are just numbers to be managed, not the basis of a coherent polity.
The road to recovery will be difficult if, as I suspect will be the case, the majority of the Tory parliamentary party post 4 July remains addicted to net zero and fuss bucketry.

The only question conservatives should be asking themselves is: what makes families thrive? Everything else flows from that.
