Fundamental to the preservation and advancement of social conservatism is the growth and discussion of ideas. The Burkean is attempting to build a strong network of social conservatives who take the battle for their philosophy very seriously. In order for this to succeed we need your help.

The Burkean relies solely on volunteers to provide the great content we produce on a regular basis. We understand that commitments to work, family and education come first, which is why we’ve produced our conservative comment section.

Whether you want to submit your views on a particular issue or event, propose a new (or return to an old) idea for debate or simply bring to people’s attention new information that would be useful to social conservatives, The Burkean conservative comment section is for you!

If you’d like to see your work appear on our conservative comment section, please send us your writing in a word document to editorial[@]theburkean.co.uk The limit for our conservative comment section is 1,000 words.

A regular author is responsible for the publication of our monthly ‘long-reads’, in-depth pieces of work that tackle a particular issue using the latest and best sources. Too often content online can be rushed out, leaving the reader with a shallow and incomplete perspective on an issue. We aim to tackle this by providing high-quality and in-depth writing that may not be current but is anything but dated.

Regular author’s are required to publish 1-piece a month of no more than 1,500 words on a topic discussed with the editor in advance. We expect these articles to come with sources and make a sophisticated and coherent argument.

If you’re interested in becoming a regular editor for The Burkean then please send us your first 1,500 word piece to editorial[@]theburkean.co.uk.

Part of The Burkean’s mission statement is to promote the social organisations – or little platoons – who we believe act as the bedrock of our organic, civil society.

We’re looking to promote the great work of these organisations as proof that the best way of solving our problems is to solve them ourselves!

If you’ve been involved in a local organisation or group that has done something commendable, we’d like to hear from you. It could be anything from preserving a local ammenity or protecting a historic monument or building to cleaning out a litter-infested river. We’d like to highlight your actions as a beacon for the British community to aspire to.

Please send as much information as you can, including pictures, to littleplatoons[@]theburkean.co.uk. Please make sure you either own (or have permission from the copyright holder for) any images that are sent to us.
