Drive boosted by army of young volunteers who feel it is cool to be Conservative again
AN army of young volunteers will play a vital role in the Tory drive to win Yorkshire’s key seats as growing numbers of under 30s decide it is cool to be Conservative again.
The success of David Cameron’s bid to decontaminate the Conservative brand has resulted in a revival of Conservative Future, the successor to the Young Conservatives which once attracted a membership of up to 250,000.
After years in the doldrums, membership has been picking up
with “substantial” growth in Yorkshire in the past year. Members played a major role in the party’s recent success in Norwich North and their enthusiasm is already giving the party a lift in marginal seats where they are pounding the streets.
In Yorkshire, a recruitment drive is planned with Conservative Future stalls at every university fresher’s fair in the autumn and a campaign to attract young professionals to the group, which is open to under 30s.
