ACTIVIST Ben Howlett has sensationally announced his bid for CF Chairman, London Spin can reveal. In an exclusive interview with this newspaper he said, “At 5pm this afternoon an email was sent to the Conservative Party Co-Chairmen Baroness Warsi and Andrew Feldman, declaring that I would be standing as a potential candidate for the position of National Chairman of Conservative Future.”
He continued, “While I know that the election has not officially been called, the campaign appears to have started in earnest. Michael Rock has had a fantastic term of office and I would be proud to succeed him.”
“Over the weekend an email was sent to over 600 Branch Chairman and Executive Members across the country under the message of “Conservative Future – Your Voice”. I wanted to find out what matters most to Conservative Future members across the country from Aberdeen to Brighton, Wrexham to West Cornwall . These were contact details I have collected over the last 5 years of my involvement in Conservative Future as the President of Durham University Conservative Association and as a Branch Chairman in Essex . The intention was to find out what mattered most to members before I decided to stand for the position of Chairman.
I have only had positive feedback so far, a few people have asked me “why on earth do you want to?” but even they believe I will do a good job, so I would like to take this opportunity to prove them right.
The hundreds of responses to my email so far have all been extremely valuable. These responses will become the basis of a manifesto that will enable their views to be implemented. I will continue this continual engagement by spending the following months meeting branch members across the country, asking them their concerns and ideas.
I promise that I will try my best to reinstate a grassroots organisation and creating an organisation ideologically led by the members, that is why I intend to give Conservative Future back it’s voice."

The only way to bring about a grassroots-powered organisation is to abolish CF entirely and allow young people to become integral parts of their associations.

This is hardly "exclusive"

Donelan would be a huge diaster, like everything it would be a massive mess. What about the press officer who left?
Ben Howlett Lacks any respect. James Morton is also talking about running he is a male Donelan just a bit more arrogant.
Emma Carr does not look like she will run, nor do Sullivan and Hampsheir. I am hearing strong rumours of a northern plot with 3 strong regions swinging behind one very strong candidate.
