Sean Gabb to speak on the Conservative Party

This just made its way to one of my in-boxes:

Mon 15 Feb, 6.45pm.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH BRITISH CONSERVATISM?

While American conservatism is in such apparently rude health,
its English cousin appears terminally ill. The British
Conservative party used to be the biggest political party in the
West, but is now a shadow of its former self - the average age
of its members is 62. What happened to the social base of the
British Conservative party, and what can be done to renew it?
As it moves towards another general election, can the British
Conservative Party learn any lessons from
America - or would it do best to plough its own furrow?

Boris Johnson, MP for Henley and editor of The Spectator; Dr
Irwin Stelzer, Director of Economic Policy Studies, The Hudson
Institute, and editor of Neoconservatism; Paul Whiteley,
Professor of Government at the University of Essex and co-author
