Kemi Badenoch, in her essay "Conservativism in Crisis: Rise of the Bureaucratic Class", emphasizes that the Conservative Party must confront its identity crisis by reclaiming its narrative and principles.
Badenoch argues that Conservatives have allowed others to define them negatively, stressing, "We've allowed too many people to tell us who we are... Labour are in, everybody can see they're the bad guys. We're the good guys."
Addressing her comments on maternity pay, she claimed, "When you are a leader, your opponents are going to try and turn it into something else... We need to decide who's going to be leader of the party."
Badenoch's essay critiques the growth of regulatory bodies, stating, "Too many in our party think that the bureaucratic class and their decision-making... has led to conservatism losing its way."
