What Ever Happened to Britain’s Freedom of Speech Bill?

What Ever Happened to Britain’s Freedom of Speech Bill?

Conservatives, if they still go by that name, should not be bashful about re-asserting the university as a place of free thought and academic inquiry. If the prime minister wants to be taken seriously, he must guarantee that the bill immediately resumes its journey to the Queen’s desk.

A Value Anchor for Conservative Democracy

A Value Anchor for Conservative Democracy

The value-anchor idea is abstract in its nature, but that is necessary: the purpose here is not to develop a plug-and-play ready constitutional reform, but rather to establish a model by means of which such reforms can be developed.

Change a Surname, Lose a Legacy

Change a Surname, Lose a Legacy

The patronymic is primarily a symbol of continuity and transmission. With this new law, the idea of transmission of a symbolic heritage, that of the name, leaves the realm of designation to become the object of a choice subject to personal convenience.

Participation in Russian Firms: to Quit or Not to Quit?

Participation in Russian Firms: to Quit or Not to Quit?

Given the strategic dimension of the companies concerned, some former European leaders believe that remaining on their governing bodies indirectly supports Putin’s policies. Others are still working for Russian firms.

The West Helped Place the Noose Around Ukraine’s Neck

The West Helped Place the Noose Around Ukraine’s Neck

Russia has sensed opportunity, and will not let go easily now. The noose it has placed on Ukraine’s neck, which has been tightened as a result of Western actions, has now made it very difficult for that country to free itself.

French Constitutional Council Nominations: Rule of Law in Question

French Constitutional Council Nominations: Rule of Law in Question

Although articles in the French press have highlighted the scandalous nature of these appointments to the Constitutional Council, there has been no reaction at the European level.

The Issue of Presidential Sponsorships: a French Curse and a Democratic Scandal

In just over a week, nominations for candidates for the French presidential election will be closed. The stakes are high. Reform of the process is indispensable, both for the present and for the future.

The Elections of Castilla y León and the Future of the Spanish Right

The purpose of the center-Right in Spain is to flank the Left’s agenda, but the regional elections in Castilla y Leon have revealed that its electorate is no longer willing to go along with this.

Homer and Heroic Freedom

Homer and Heroic Freedom

Protesting to assert our rights might give us a solution Achilles didn’t have when he contested Agamemnon’s authority. But we also lack something Achilles had—heroism—and so we find ourselves powerless.

Muting Democracy: How the European Parliament fails to “Unite in Diversity”

Muting Democracy: How the European Parliament fails to “Unite in Diversity”

“I am, under your criteria, considered to be anti-gender. Should I dis-activate myself, be eliminated from this hearing? I don’t think it seems to be very democratic in nature. Those who respect natural law are part of this society as well. We are pro-human dignity, pro-human beings, pro-human rights,” VOX MEP Margarita de la Pisa Carrión said at last week’s FEMM hearing.

Learning to Live with Multipolarity: the Scholz-Putin Meeting

Learning to Live with Multipolarity: the Scholz-Putin Meeting

The meeting between Olaf Scholz and Vladimir Putin made it clear that the West is no longer in the position to make demands to other world powers. The time has come to look inwards and protect our own values, rather than try to export them.

European Governments and Consulting Firms: Suspicious Affairs

European Governments and Consulting Firms: Suspicious Affairs

The consulting firm of the 21st century could well be the new face of the Soviet control commission—a machine with fixed codes and pre-formatted processes designed to mask facts and the banality of postmodern sovereignty.

Populism: A Word without Meaning

Populism: A Word without Meaning

Populism is a term often used to criticize conservatives. But when we take a closer look, those who use it don’t bother to define it. In fact, a closer look suggests that the term has no meaning of its own. All it means is—democracy.

Meloni vs. the Swamp: Italy’s New Political Reality

Meloni vs. the Swamp: Italy’s New Political Reality

Italy, it seems, has for some time abandoned politics and sanity and given full power to non-elected technocrats and politicians. Giorgia Meloni offers a way back to normalcy.

Abortion: The Battle of the European Lobbies

Abortion: The Battle of the European Lobbies

These attacks on the rights of the unborn child are not isolated initiatives. They are well thought out and coordinated. A survey by the European Centre for Law and Justice reveals the existence of a real pro-abortion lobby within the European institutions.

Islamist Party Likely to Win Seats in Swedish Parliament

Islamist Party Likely to Win Seats in Swedish Parliament

There is nothing dramatic per se about a new party in the Riksdag. What is unique about the new party Nyans emerging in the 2022 election cycle is that it springs from the Islamist environment in Sweden.

The Lost Cause of Libertarianism

The Lost Cause of Libertarianism

More than any other ideological current in the political landscape, libertarianism exhibits a phenomenal penchant for splinter-grouping. Today, they pitch a big tent shared by abortion advocates, drug legalizers, Rothbard-inspired anarcho-capitalists, and Ayn Rand objectivists.

The Problem of An Urban Eschaton

The Problem of An Urban Eschaton

Whilst escape from the city for the sake of prayer and meditation is a recurring motif of Western literature, and one that plays an important role in the life of Jesus Christ, one of the great achievements of our civilisation has been that of sanctifying the city.

Drawing the Lines for Cold War II

Drawing the Lines for Cold War II

Today’s Russia is not yesterday’s Soviet Union. What Putin does to his country is unacceptable, but unlike the leaders of the communist state of the last century, he does not have an ideology that compels him to eliminate the economic and political system of the West.

Is EU Law More ‘Conservative’ than American Law?

The authors argue that the high courts of the Council of Europe and the EU are actually more ‘conservative’ than the Supreme Court of the United States on almost every polarising topic today.

Words as Weapons: Why We Must Stand Our Ground Over Pronouns

Where the rest of the world’s leaders seem intent on impressing us with themselves, she appears to respond in the opposite manner—with quiet duty.

Demoting Life to a Moral Instrument

Demoting Life to a Moral Instrument

Government says that a person is not alive until deep into the pregnancy. The motive is instrumental: when we legally sever the beginning of life from conception, we allow for another moral value to be elevated above life itself. That moral value works as an ulterior motive for the legal definition of life.
