Disraeli: The Chief (1.4, ATV, 1978)
"May I ask: what will be your main concern, sir?"
"To push forward the kind of progressive conservatism that has been my ideal for the past forty years."
"You mentioned social legislation. Could you give us some idea of what you have in mind?"
"Oh, nothing too much, say... slum clearance, setting up of savings banks, shortening the working hours, legal equality between workers and employers, and the establishment of the rights of trade unions amongst other things."
"But... but that is more radical than anything ever proposed by Gladstone."
"It certainly does not sound like conservative policy."
"I want this government to represent the interests of every class - since it was every class that elected us, not just one section of society."
