The increase in power has been seen through some recent high profile events like the dinner at the Savoy Hotel to mark the 25th anniversary of Baroness Thatcher's election in 1979. The group has shed its right wing image in recent years as is now seen as a integral part of the Conservative Party. In the recent spate of Leadership Elections Conservative Way Forward has always publicly supported the candidate who ultimately won.
