The State of O’Sullivan’s Law

“Any organisation or institution that is not explicitly right-wing will over time drift and become left-wing.”

O'Sullivan's Law · John O’Sullivan · 1989

A day in London on the future of conservative institution-building.

23 February 2027

The conference

The National Trust, the Tate, the Home Office, major banks, publishers, the BBC, corporations of every kind. We are surrounded with DEI, green, safeguarding, outcomes-based education, perceived offence, special pleading, two-tierism.

O’Sullivan’s Law describes a deep problem for conservatives: policies come and go. But culture and structure are harder to shift. Given that conservatives are innately loyal to institutions, how do we work to re-plumb the architecture of power? How can we build a world that is O’Sullivan’s Law-proof?

Join us for a one-day event in London — with a keynote from John O’Sullivan, and talks from a range of prominent conservative thinkers — where we’ll be mapping the state of institutional capture, and seeking solutions.

Tickets

In aid of Budapest

Any proceeds left from ticket sales will go towards the Repealing O’Sullivan’s Law event, in Budapest.

Repealing O’Sullivan’s Law is a hands-on, two day workshop, modelled on tech incubators. It is an application-only event, where talented individuals from within the Right are challenged to come up with a micro-business or institute that will positively benefit the Right — and push back against the Law.

Across a pacy 48 hours, our cohort will be schooled in the startup skills they will need to bring their idea off the page and into the real world, culminating in a live-pitching event that leads to funding opportunities.

Delegates to the London event will be given the opportunity to sponsor a place at the 2028 Repealing O’Sullivan’s Law event, for a young maker.

We are also interested in speaking to donors who might wish to fund projects developed at the event.
