Welcome to our Wiki! We hope that this will become a comprehensive resource for people interested in the Conservative Party and conservatism in the UK.

It's very much in the early stages as we continue to work on it so for the moment users cannot create their own pages. Click here for a more detailed introduction.

All users automatically get their own page to build a profile. Why not tell us about yourself? Just click on your own name at the top of the ConservativeVault homepage to edit your personal area.

To see what's new or what's been updated, check the page listing recent changes.

Policy

This section chronicles the Conservative Party's policy positions. Subject areas currently include Healthcare, Tax and Spending, Welfare, Education, Law and Order, Transport, Local Government and Europe. A profile of William Hague's foreign policy since 2005 has also been written. Areas for development include Prisons, Business, Unemployment and ways to tackle it, Deregulation, Defence, Broadcasting and Personal Freedoms.

Advice

105 questions that councillors should ask their councils? A great start but let's make it 200. Check back for more pages such as "How to become a parliamentary candidate".

Events and Job Opportunities

Here we publicise Association, Area, National Events and also those of associated and allied organisations. Please add yours here and if possible include a photo or a map to the venue should it be helpful. Also we highlight Job Opportunities both in the UK and abroad. If you know of any vacancies then please add them here with full details.

History

No-one ever succeeds without understanding the past. Can you add to our account of how Cameron won the party leadership contest? Can you add to our draft timeline of Boris' mayoralty?

Profiles of opinion formers

Profiles of those who are influential in the political world, especially on the Conservative Party. Cllr Stephen Greenhalgh, who doesn't have a Wikipedia entry, is the first person to be covered.

Centre-right organisations

The political agenda can be driven by organisations with strong views and these are profiles of the leading voices of the centre-right.

Debates, challenges and myths

The Conservative Party is a broad church and has had many strong internal debates. Here we review the most important of them. Also political folklore throws up many conspiracy theories. This is where we will examine them.

Glossary of political phrases

A subjective dictionary of political terms. Hug-A-Hoodie? Mondeo Man? Current and past political phrases will be explained. All registered users can update the entries already here.

Testing area

We've added a user-friendly Wysiwg for now so that anyone should be able to contribute without difficulty, experienced users can still use wikitext. If you haven't used MediaWiki before at all you can use this testing facility to experiment.
