Conservative Way Forward (CWF) is a British pressure ad campaigning group, which is Thatcherite 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 MP Steve Baker who will be its new chairman.[5]
