I bet Warsi and co where so excited to get such an important e-mail. This must have ranked second to the Queens Speech in their significant early moments of the coalition.

Seriously whats this guy about? Press officer pah, smacks of self importance. Also why does he keep e-mailing me asking for ideas? Does he have none? I am not sure he understands crowd sourcing, the point is you have your own ideas and you ask people to add to them, not just give you ideas.

E-mails, Press officers, questions and lots of waving. He must thing he is the head of state> Howlett fail.

Talking about 'an organisation ideologically led by the members' is all very good and well, but making the organisation focus on ideological campaigning is the very best way to end it. Remember the FCS?

Members should be given outlets, through policy fora and debating, so that they feel as though their opinions are able to be aired and heards. There should also be single-issue campaigns that unite members with the party (as NO2ID did), rather than divide them. But CF taking a corporate position that disagrees with the Conservative Party? Nah.

Essex councillor? All I can find on Google is that he's nothing more than a town councillor... I hope he is a member of a district/county authority, as there's a massive difference serving on one of those than there is on the equivalent of a parish council. He's well within his rights to use his 'cllr' title, but if he is nothing more than a town councillor it does seem to me a bit naughty as it creates the impression - certainly to members who don't know him and are potential voters - that he is actually a serving district/county/unitary councillor. With all due respect councillors who serve on those types of authorities have a hell of a lot more responsibility than a town/parish councillor does!

"I promise that I will try my best to reinstate a grassroots organisation and creating an organisation ideologically led by the members, that is why I intend to give Conservative Future back it’s voice."

Hah! - the youth wing of the Conservative Party lost its voice the day it changed its name from Young Conservatives to 'Conservative Future' and focused less on grass roots activism and more on how big your bank balance was and whether you were looking for a suitable future husband/wife.

I really hope that sombody can get a grip on Conservative Future (or whatever it might be called in the future)and return it to being the most effective and formidable political youth wing in the country. An organisation that knew what both it and its Party stood for and drove that message home to the voters with skill and conviction.

But then again, I always was a bit of a dreamer...

Have to agree, entirely different to what we are used to, questions, no answers and some waving.
