Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

The Cornerstone Group is a socially conservative or traditional conservative political organisation within the British Conservative Party. The Group espouses traditional values as exemplified by its motto: Faith, Flag, and Family. It comprises Members of Parliament with a traditionalist outlook and was founded in 2005. The Group's President is Edward Leigh and its Chairman John Hayes. More than fifty Conservative Party Members of Parliament belong to the Cornerstone Group at present, including several members of HM Government.The Conservative Party incorporates three main schools of thought; along with the traditionalist-leaning Cornerstone Group, there are also the One Nation and Thatcherite elements. There is more than a degree of overlap between these groups, depending on the issue.

A manifesto released at the time of its foundation set out the Group's intentions:
