Its name derives from the Cornerstone Group's support for three
British social institutions: the
Church of England, the
unitary British state, and the
family. To this end, it emphasises
England's
Anglican heritage, opposes any transfer of power away from the central government and institutions of the
United Kingdom — either downwards to the nations and regions or upwards to the
European Union — and seeks to place greater emphasis on
traditional family structures to repair what has been termed as
Britain's broken society, as well as calling for lower
levels of immigration into the UK. Its core focus points according to its website include the "
monarchy; traditional marriage; family and community duties; proper pride in the United Kingdom's distinctive qualities; quality of life over soulless utility; social responsibility over personal selfishness; social justice as civic duty, not state dependency; compassion for those in need; reducing government waste; lower taxation and deregulation; and promotion and protection of ancient liberties against politically correct censorship and a commitment to the democratically elected
UK parliament." A prominent
MP from this wing of the
party is
John Redwood. Though the group is marked out by its support for the Anglican Church, it also includes more traditional
Catholic members such as
Jacob Rees-Mogg and
Edward Leigh. ==Members==
