Background To Conservative Future
Conservative Future (CF) was launched at the Conservative Party’s Conference in 1998 after the Party had gone through a series of reforms. CF combines the three long-standing previous youth organisations – “The Young Conservatives”, “Conservative Students” and “Conservative Graduates”. Anyone under 30 years of age who joins the Conservative Party automatically becomes a CF member.
So, Who Are You And What Do You Do?
We are a group of young people who aim to make politics more relevant and approachable to young people and to provide an opportunity for young people to join the Conservative Party. We want to keep you informed about matters that affect you and get to know what you think about today’s key issues.
Many young people today feel alienated and apathetic towards the political system and believe that their opinion doesn’t really matter to politicians – yet this could not be further from the truth. Conservative politicians rely on the work on Conservative Future to get to know what you want and need and we provide many opportunities for you to tell them direct.
Why Should I Join?
Broadly speaking, you should join us if you are a supporter of the Conservative Party, or curious to find out more. The Conservative Party has the most active youth movement of all the political parties; CF is the largest political youth wing in Western Europe. Conservative Future is run by young people, for young people, to represent the views of young people. We don’t take ourselves too seriously – we’re simply here to enjoy ourselves with a group of like-minded friends.
If you believe in ideas like freedom, enterprise, responsibility and the nation state, then why not join? Becoming a member is easy. Whether you want to become actively involved and join one of our committees or just wish to receive our newsletters and information about events, there is something for everyone.
Membership costs £5 if you are under 22 (£25 under 30).

What Would I Have To Do?

Whatever you experience of life and whatever your level of political interest; whether you are studying for your A-Levels, your degree or whether you have begun your working career, whether you have lots of time or hardly any, why not find out more and see what we can offer you?
