The Youth Movement with a New Agenda  

 Conservative Future (CF) is the youth branch of the Conservative Party. If you are under 30 you will automatically become a member of CF when you join the Party, ensuring you get to meet other people of the same age.

Joining CF will be a good start if you want to become more actively involved in politics. CF offers you regular chances to hear members of the shadow Cabinet speak, and there are subsidised social events that have, in the past, included hiring West end clubs, drinks receptions at embassies and meetings in the Palace of Westminster.

Are young people really apathetic about politics?

From the Blue Blog: Serene John-Richards looks at whether young people are indifferent towards politics, or just political parties.

It is perhaps common knowledge that young people are apathetic about politics – it has been said that they don’t care enough to vote and are too preoccupied with Glastonbury and suchlike. 

How then can we explain massive turnouts of young people at various protests? More and more young people are opting to support single issue campaigns instead of political parties. Of those, even more hold pre-conceived ideas about political parties and are reluctant to change their views. Why? Well…young people today are a cynical bunch when it comes to political parties, and allow me to explain why.
