Tory+Democracy.

The Tory Party was seen as being a party for the entire country - One Nation Conservatism

This was closely linked to the idea that the Party was committed to aiding the poor and underprivileged of society (Tory Democracy). They were not supposed to represent and legislate for only the upper classes.

The idea of Disraeli being a Tory Democrat is backed up by the wideranging reform of the 1874-80 ministry, although this view is undermined by the fact that most legislation was permissive. **Agricultural reforms** Passed because British agriculture entered period of depression //Easing tensions between landlords and their tenants.// **//Potentail & effectiveness://** > -Dizzy gov't did nothing to allieviate problems > - not much was done > - limited impact
