Not too fun, obviously. But without the social side CCHQ will only attract the already committed to their activist training courses.
Far from all young people are dyed-in-the-wool Corbynites. To improve the Conservative vote we need to find the right ways to communicate.
We focus on three core activities: digital activism, on the ground campaigning, and recruiting and training grassroots activists.

Elevating the political class to a special status in law would alienate voters further. And a catch-all restraint on free speech would be used as a political weapon.
