Richard said that there was a youth group set up before that never actually went anywhere, and suggested that I see if anyone would be willing to join, or get involved with it....
So I was thinking from 16-24, into the younger side of UKIP or politics in general... gaining interest with younger people and raising awareness with younger people... and getting them into UKIP. 
Anyway, if you're interested please let me know - you can email me at mark@gblive.net (and msn at the same address)... or just message me on the forum.
Cheers,

I wish you every success in drumming up support among the young.
I seem to remember one Mark Lester (wasn't he Oliver in the film??) trying something similar some years back. Sadly he didn't succeed as even I as an over 50 can appear young and sprightly at UKIP gatherings :!: :!:
The aforementioned Mark is probably nearer Fagin in age now rather than Oliver!
I don't mean to be discouraging. One angle you could play is that student loans, tuition and top up fees could be abolished if we stopped throwing money down the EU pan.
