本文探讨了英国保守党如何应对因追求两个日益不一致的目标而产生的困境：实现英国脱欧和维持国内联盟。根据对议会辩论的采访和分析，我们确定了 2016 年至 2019 年期间对单一主义国家的旧观念的复兴，以及政策方面新形式的亲联邦激进主义。反对那些将英国保守党描述为放弃了工会主义使命的评论家，我们探讨了一种更加自信和激进的工会主义情绪的融合。但我们也发现，中间的保守党愿意将英国非英语地区的思考转包给民主统一党和苏格兰保守党等“当地”政治代表，并且越来越担心如何处理与实现英国脱欧和维持国内联盟相关的相互竞争的优先事项之间出现的紧张关系。
This article explores how the British Conservative Party has dealt with the dilemmas arising from its pursuit of two increasingly discordant goals: delivering Brexit and maintaining the domestic Union. Drawing on interviews and analyses of parliamentary debates, we identify a resurgence in the 2016–2019 period of an older belief in a unitarist state, and a new form of pro-Union activism in policy terms. Against those commentators who depict Britain’s Conservatives as having abandoned their unionist vocation, we explore the coalescence of a more assertive and activist strain of unionist sentiment. But we also find a willingness among Conservatives at the centre to sub-contract thinking about non-English parts of the UK to ‘local’ political representatives such as the Democratic Unionist Party and the Scottish Conservatives, and a growing anxiety about how to handle emergent tensions between the competing priorities associated with delivering Brexit and maintaining the domestic Union.
