Conservative Way Forward (CWF) is a British pressure ad campaigning group, which isThatcherite in its outlook and agenda.Margaret Thatcher was its founding president.[1]
Conservative Way Forward was founded in 1991 to "defend and build upon the achievements of the Conservative Party under Margaret Thatcher's leadership, and to adapt the principles of her era in government to modern concerns and challenges".
The group organises speaker meetings, seminars and receptions, supported and attended by Government Ministers past and future.[2]
In all leadership elections since 1997, the candidate supported by Conservative Way Forward has ultimately won.[3][failed verification]
Conservative Way Forward is to be relaunched in 2022[4] by MPSteve Baker who will be its new chairman.[5]
On 14 April 2013, the group announced that it was setting up a Margaret Thatcher Library as a permanent memorial to the former prime minister. The project will be based on theRonald Reagan Presidential Library in California, and has the support of several current and former Conservative cabinet members. It is expected to run training courses for young Conservatives and exchange student programmes to the US and elsewhere, as well as house artifacts from her premiership.[6]
In December 2015 Paul Abbott resigned as chief executive, and Donal Blaney resigned as chairman, following the suicide of Elliott Johnson soon after being made redundant as an employee of Conservative Way Forward. This followed the resignations of Minister of State for International DevelopmentGrant Shapps, and the expulsion from the Conservative Party ofMark Clarke, following allegations of bullying of Elliott Johnson.[7][8]
