Churchill would say that.
He went from the Conservatives to the Liberal party, then back to the Tories.

I haven't been apart of candidate selection, but I was under the impression all registered members of the party can.

Re: Looking for young tories!
If you are looking for young conservatives, they are probably hanging out with the black republicans.

Re: Looking for young tories!
shame on those who knock people who want to do something like setting up their own group, whether tongue in cheek or therwise.
Personally, you can stick all the parties up your jacksie!! They all tell lies, they all sneek crap through that you don't agree with, they all tell their constituents one thing and then vote the other way when at Parliament. They all draw far too high a wage ........
It's an important job and somebody has to do it, unfortunately there should be a better way. Like maybe drawing straws or summat.
