The Tamworth Manifesto

The Tamworth Manifesto, issued in 1834 by British politician Sir Robert Peel, was a set of principles that helped shape the modern Conservative Party. It emphasized the importance of upholding traditional values while also supporting gradual political reform to improve society. Peel advocated for responsible governance, respect for parliamentary institutions, and addressing public concerns, bridging the gap between conservative tradition and modern political needs. This manifesto marked a shift toward a more pragmatic and adaptable conservative approach, laying the foundation for the party's future policies and its role in British politics.
