The Independent has done an article looking at the youth movements of the various political parties, including Conservative Future:
As well as canvassing and championing grass-roots projects, Conservative Future supports the NOID campaign against ID cards. Rock believes Tony Blair “wasted an opportunity” after Labour displaced the Tories in 1997. “What real progress have we seen?” he asks. He regards David Cameron as “very appealing to young people, who see him as coming from a similar generation, unlike the rather distant Brown.” The expenses scandal, meanwhile, has been “like a nail in the coffin of the attempts to engage young people in politics. But now is the perfect time to get involved and do something about it.”

I would like to agree with the statement above that many people of my generation find David Cameron a person who we can relate to. He is the reason why I have become very interested in Conserative Politics by the way he communicates not just in speeches and on the television but by communicating through the computer and internet which is obivious to see is more commonly used now. He has brought a new lease of life into politics by showing that politicians are not all boring and dull. What is extremely important is that politicians can communicate with the younger generation as we are the future and also to assure us that our voices are being heard.
