Getting Younger
28-Jul-06, Windsor Express Article.

It is not often that I attend a function and feel out of place. But that is exactly how I felt at Windsor Conservatives recent '30 under 30' event for younger members. Once upon a time I was one of the younger members at these kind of events but at this one I very definitely felt my age!

David Cameron’s leadership has certainly attracted many new members and I am delighted that so many of them are of the younger generation. Politicians often talk about their desire to reach out to younger voters and get them involved in our democracy. so it is a credit to David that people of all ages are coming forward and taking an active part in politics once again.

The enthusiasm and get-up-and-go of many of the guests was a delight to see and can only bode well for the future. And whilst I am perhaps no longer one of the younger generation of members, I am glad that the party and democracy looks to be in such good health!.
