Hilarity ensues...
After the chaos of their elections, the new Liberal Youth executive has come together today for the first time. In keeping with the tradition, the Chairman Elaine Bagshaw has had another resignation. Ben Mathis, who was re-elected just a week ago as the Vice-Chairman for Campaigns, has already jumped the sinking ship. This is surely a new record for Bagshaw forcing out someone who opposed her point of view or questioned her.
Liberal Youth's freshers week campaign is obviously going to be as successful as last year's seeing as with just a few months to go they have found themselves without someone to co-ordinate it.
TB's sources are muttering that Edwin Loo, the ever so successful London Campaign honcho, has already started putting the word around that he is ready to step up to the plate. He has proven his worth and this would be a real threat to Conservative Future's national campaigning.
Honest.

"Last year's", not "last years".
Fuck me, is it really that difficult?
I'd like to make it clear that I'm not interested :)
On another work, how successful is YOUR London campaigning work? CF members at the University of London do jack-shit in terms of outreach and pavement-pounding (I've NEVER seen a Conservative street stall in my two years here), so I suggest you get some substance behind your own operation before criticizing the work of London Liberal Youth.
Ben Mathis was going to leave if Sara didn't win anyway, we all knew it. He was basically behind that whole slate. Elaine didn't force him out, he forced himself out.
Edwin you can hardly base the whole of London on yours little world at LSE.
At UCL, KCL, Brunel, Royal H, Westminster and others CF have the largest political branches, campaigning for local candidates.
CF also has over 28 branches in boroughs in London. According to the London Liberal Youth site you have NONE outside of Unis.
