So as I said before, I have joined the Conservative Party, not really surprising since the only politicians I have met so far are all Tories from the Council candidates, up to the members of Parliament, and I am very pleased to have met them all and looking forward to meeting all the people I shall meet in the future.
Okay, so you might be wondering why I joined the party despite the reasons above. I joined because I agree with the with the ideologies that were set out originally and their way of dealing with problems as the Labour and Liberal Democrats, and any other political party. (Unless you include the 'Hannah' party which could be an amazing success, one never knows. Anyway I am a little stuffed as I have already paid for a years worth of membership.
So anyway, this is meant to be about Conservative Future right? Okay then, Conservative Future (or CF) for short is for any person under the age of 30 who wants to get involved with the party. In an ideal world, there would be one for every constituency but I suppose that one for most surrounding areas in acceptable enough. Also in an ideal world the member of Parliament would support and endorse their local CF but unfortunately, this does not always happen. A CF branch is usually set up to encourage young people and voters not to just gain an interest in the Conservative Party but to gain an interest in politics, which is always useful in the next generation of voters and possibly political candidates. A CF branch is also set up to let MP's and Councilors know what is needed for the younger people in that area and how that can be approached in the most suitable of ways. For example, my town is one of great historical value but there is not very much new development or many major businesses for a young person who has just left college or university to go into. Also at the moment, there is very high employment as there are so few jobs and not much to keep a young person in this town. The member of parliament is hoping that we be able to advise him on this.
University Conservative Associations are similar to CF's.
Just one last point, Conservative membership for under 22 year old is only £5 for the year.
