This chapter highlights the twin ideological traditions that John Enoch Powell attempted to integrate into a coherent whole. These traditions were economic liberalism and traditional toryism. The chapter outlines Powell's main political principles and how these applied to the broad range of policies he addressed as an MP inside and outside of Parliament. It evaluates these ideas and discusses various criticisms made of Powell's political viewpoint. After the defeat of the Conservative Government, Powell asserted his belief that a clear choice existed in economic policy between socialism, which would continue to limit freedom as it had done under governments of both Labour and Conservative, and capitalism. Powell was to remain steadfast in his opposition to any measures he regarded as weakening the sovereignty of Westminster over Ulster and thought the Anglo-Irish Agreement signed by Margaret Thatcher a betrayal of Ulster.
