Meet the young Tories helping to decide the UK's next leader

- With the new Prime Minister due to be announced in two weeks' time, it's all down to the 160,000 or so Tory party members to decide.(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
We know this group is not particularly representative of the rest of the country.
It's thought seven out of 10 are male, and more than a third are over the age of 66.
But what about the paid-up members who don't fit the Tory stereotype?
We have been speaking to young Conservatives about who they favour for leader, and why.

Good
The youth of the elite are the only ones who would back the Tories, as they are completely disconnected from that kid who goes to bed hungry, a mother who relies on food banks and other endless policies that have brought austerity to many poor people.
Actually I am from the North east of England and i too have been in poverty, however I know plenty of people now that have turned their backs on Labour Party and Jeremy corbyn and are considering the tory party or even the brexit party. I have too and its because Jeremy is all talk and no actions. There's something about him that I do not like and he will not do anything to help the young and poor people of today. I'm still doing my research as to who I am going to vote for in the next elections but so far I think it will be the conservative party or the brexit party. If anyone has any reasons as to why I should vote Labour or anything else please reply!

John Jones Banned microbeads? Put a 5p charge on plastic bags? The 2050 emissions pledge?
John Jones it’s not enough but they have made significant changes
They also abolished the Department for Energy and Climate Change.
Pledging a zero carbon economy by 2050 is of course not the same thing as actually bringing it about. Remember, politicians
And others have pledged to cut carbon emissions for the last 30 years or so, but emissions continue to increase. This is
Why I simply do not believe that a zero carbon economy can be achieved by 2050. The best that can be done is to minimize
Emissions as much as possible, but whether emissions can be minimized, let along stopped by 2050, is, to say, the least,
Doubtful.
@@rebeccawray8317 Making a pledge, especially when there's almost no pressure and no way to ensure to stick to it is probably one of the easiest things you can do. Mainly because you don't have to do anything more than open your mouth and make some sounds come out.
The blonde lass wanging on about being 'relatable to young people'. She must think it's super relatable to be a member of a dubiously funded, far right group before transitioning into a Tory member who's made multiple TV appearances including asking a long question on BBC QT. The pinnacle of relatability.

People under 65 in the Conservative Party are a small minority, these idiots are the last of a dying breed.
@@politicalphilosophy-thegre3894 How did the Tory party win and have such a majority they are the dying breed as well as mostly above 65. Do all others not vote anymore?
@dnw009 People under 30 have a lower rate of voting, plus people over 65 are disproportionately in swing seats which determine elections. Unfortunately. But Proportional Representation is coming.
@@politicalphilosophy-thegre3894 True. But they are dying off. Even assuming everyone votes the same at the next GE, and assuming voting rates by age group are exactly the same, the gap between Tories and Labour will halve by 2024.
Toryism is winning, but Thatcherism is a dying philosophy because it stopped making any economic beneficial sense for majorities of people by 2008, and far less thanks to ££ printing since. Older generations on the other hand have done very well out of a debt based "financialised" system rewarding them while future generations pay the debt.
Btw, why PR may never come. It takes a winning govt to bring it about, and each govt has "won" under this system. You can see the problem here....

"If he has a team around him, though, he'll be the best prime minister we've ever had"
That's what people here in America were saying about Trump. We were flat WRONG about that. 😂
Whos the we? He's doing much better than I expected him to
@@SA2004YG Moderates like me regret voting Trump. I'm done sticking my head in the sand when it comes to politics. It's not even about "what Trump did/does," it's that I now see the potential in how badly it can go if we get someone worse with less decorum.
@Brad Smith Only because there are enough sane people stopping his utterly stupid ideas from coming to fruition. Well, that and reality.
As for North Korea, Kim Jong-un is playing him like a fiddle.
@Brad Smith I know how to read stats, but actual real life economists who make the charts know and have publicly said that what Trump did to boost the economy, and I'm quoting someone directly, is "...gave it a sugar high" and that in a year or two we will have a "sugar crash." And yes, I'm glad about Korea being less awful toward us, but they still want to commit genocide on the Japanese and nobody can stop that train without completely dismantling the NK government. Our relationship with Iran is now probably the worst since the 70's, but that's just "being tough," right? Gotta flex those big boy muscles, even if it means Iran will increase nuclear activity.
I'm just saying, all presidents do good and bad things, life isn't as simple as evil or awesome and this is why people argue about politics. For me, personally, Trump has done some good short term things, but I doubt North Korea will like the next guy (red or blue), be it in 6 months or 4 1/2 years, and the economy will crash from it's high just like it always does when it gets an artificial boost. I don't like Trump because I think in the long term and I can't see where he is going. I see where he wants to go, but I don't think he has a good roadmap to get there. I say this all as a conservative, Christian, Republican who has lived in rural town my whole life.
I'm not uniquely blinkered, we are all living in a fog of political misdirection on both sides and none of us can really see where we are ending up. I'm not scared of Trump, I'm scared of how split down the middle everyone is. It's not even Trump being some kind of mastermind of misdirection either, it's all those little politicians, it's the news media, they always tell us something to get mad about for ratings and votes. Now, more than ever, we need to examine what we see with our own logic and knowledge. If you determine that Trump is the best president ever, vote for him. I won't tell you not to, that's what America is.
Hi Molls, I made this comment. I have only one answer to this: 365 seats mate.
Swivel on that.
We're screwed
"Boris will be the best Prime Minister we've ever had". That's aging like milk isn't it 👌🏻
@DIY dreams Cameron didn't want to do it, that was the point. And while i'm not a fan of the pig fucker, Johnson doesn't hold a candle to him.
@DIY dreams and what is Brexit going to do exactly?
Boris has sodomised a nation.
2022 and its still stinking up the fridge
July 2022 the milk is curdled and with green lumps.
Children, you deserve better than this two candidates.
You are being conditioned to accept this two candidates as viable options, without thinking about the consequences for the Country.
Don't make that mistake.
I liked Rory... He had, like, a brain in his head. He wasn't so proud of himself that he was willing to throw his entire country under the bus to look like a tough boy like all these populist jerks around the world that keep harming the sensibilities of their people. It's the same here in the US... I consider myself conservative but I find myself voting Democrat half of the time because the good Republicans/moderates get knocked out early for not being "tough" enough. Being able to dig your heels in and throw a tantrum isn't a strength, it's a weakness... a weakness that will hurt millions in this case.
What do they want? What side? What would make the party less Toxic...none of them had answers or ideas...they sound like perfect Tories.
Aaron Johnson dude you sound like a liberal asshole.
Patrick Bateman looks like one too
Patrick Bateman I hate the tories they are the worst

Why are they Tories?! They pretty much just said all the members are unrelatable and it has a toxic image based off the things Boris and others have said. But yet.... they are still Tories. That's just dumb.
@@NA-gf1zy that's the logic that everybody is greedy. Everybody is not greedy. Some of us know what community is. Tories however are always greedy.
@@NA-gf1zy I don’t think you’d te anymore bud, and if so you must be delusional
@@NA-gf1zy take advantage of them? Are you some sort of 21st century slave owner mate, if anyone should not have opportunities it’s you lol
@@NA-gf1zy that's literally socialism... the idea that what you put in you receive. Common/democratic ownership of the means of production. If you're working on a factory line, you'll receive the same wage as everyone else, irregardless of effort put in. Please, stop being a clown.
America also has millions who can't afford healthcare. Brilliant idea.
This has aged like an old man's nappie.

Looking back at the young man who has said that Boris was similar to Churchill after the government has been making a wreck of everything they touch, I wonder if he has changed his mind.
What a bunch of fannies!

“I think they have been doing loads for the environment” Care to tell me how?
The U.K. has decarbonised the fastest out of any major economy since 2010.

How many people are: "160:000" ??
WTF ???

even Putin said the same thing
@@Bodragon There are 160,000 Conservative Party members. They decide the next leader of.the party and therefore de facto the next PM
And it's still 160,000 more than what voted for Gordon Brown. This tends to be how it works in a parliamentary democracy. It certainly comes of as undemocratic, but we can hardly assume that any of the parties currently in government would either change the law or willingly call for an election if faced with the same situation.
Bunch of traitors.
That Churchill comment aged horribly
its going to be a sad future with this lot……
I'm still waiting for an answer to the legitimate question ; why do you hate poor people?
Sebby 94
1. UN describes NHS in humanitarian crisis.
2. UN commences investigation into government policy on disabled people as a breach of their human rights
3. UN concludes that austerity is a systematically misogynistic policy and which is causing for poverty amongst thousands
4. Court concludes that the Tories selling and to Saudi is causing the deaths of Yemenis (poor civilians)
5. DWP decisions are being overturned at a rate of 75% implying that that DWP is systematically depriving people of benefits to which they're entitled
6. Universal credit is a disaster and the 5 week delay is causing an increase in the use of food banks
7. Benefit sanctions can leave claimants with no money
8. Record poverty
9. Record in work poverty
10. Record child poverty
11. Grenfell victims still not fully housed
12. Thousands of social housing still clad in flammable cladding ETC ETC ETC
It's a class war and if you don't own land or capital, they're at war with you. And if you think they're not, you're doing their work for them. Stop tugging your forelock and fight the real enemy.
@Sebby 94 whose hard work?
Sebby 94 most people have very little wealth. Of those that do, it's their house in which they live. I'm talking about people who can rent seek. Ie use capital and wealth to live without having to sell their labour. That's a tiny minority
Sebby 94 the point I was making with the long list was that there are very good grounds for thinking that Tories are at war with the poor.
The worst Party Political Broadcast ever.
Just saying being a tory isn't a bad thing its just a point of view so stop being so stereotypical. It's like me saying being left wing is bad or being democratic is bad.
"[Jeremy Corbyn] thinks he's one of 'them'" Who exactly are 'they'? The poor? Underprivileged? What a bunch of bellends.
From the comments, it seems like the conservatives in the UK and USA are treated the same.
Do your conservatists let kids go hungary too?
Josh Smith (aka Sideshow Bob), used to be a member of UKIP and appeared on Question Time where he said " Donald Trump is a very nice man". Of course he's a Tory.
Let see their family background and their private schools their parents pay for. All this politicians wanna be have never gone through life difficults to understand the world. I have met a homeless man who has degree in law I would rather vote for him than these silver spoon fools.
All I hear is mummy & daddy
Paid for my education,car,phone and house.
No understanding to the real world
The lack of knowledge to their own local community is very unsettling and disturbing.
You can feel that they were born with a silver spoon in their hand. Like always.

The idea that everyone who is conservative comes from a privileged upper-class background it just ridiculous, I’m northern and from a working class family originally from Salford, my parents have always worked hard in life despite not having much money growing up, but most importantly they had a strong work ethic and now they live comfortably. Handouts don’t get people out of poverty they keep people there. If you make good choices anyone can succeed in this country, and success is what you make it.
Are you succeeding now😂😂😂
And what if you're disabled & can't work? How much chance do we get to live comfortably under a Tory government then . .. not much in my opinion.
You are so right you could educate these scumbags leaving there comments.
Fair play to them. Admitting you’re conservative nowadays is very dangerous.
