You're invited to a bonding
Article Abstract:
UK Conservative party leader William Hague believes that encouraging unity among the party's MPs will play a key role in reviving its fortunes. He is keen to adopt some management strategies used by successful large companies, including bringing MPs together at a hotel for a weekend for morale-building sessions. It is clear that the Conservative party needs to be brought together, but some MPs, especially the older ones, have expressed doubts about whether Hague's approach is the right one.
