Everything in politics starts with an idea. Sometimes it’s a burning injustice that’s got to be fixed. Sometimes it's an inspirational vision of how to make the world a better place.

The Conservative Policy Forum is here to find the world-changing, era-defining ideas and shape the policies of tomorrow.
