Perhaps a start would be to ask the young people in the party what they think!

They were at last years Conference, four of them gave presentations. Very good too. Good vision. Don't know what happened afterwards.

Tony Butcher had also successfully commenced UKIP youth (or YouthUKIP) but that was taken away from him - by NF - and given to some-one who was supposed to have started it 15/18 months earlier but hadn't :roll:

What? All three of them? :twisted:

I think I count as a young person (ie under 60) by UKIP standards.

Too true. That was my wife and I sneaked out at 9.15.

We wanted some dinner so drove to Brighton.

It would be illuminating to know how many under 30's there are. My son (he's 24) is a member.
