Social
Young reformers in London and those dissatisfied with the conservatives should know each other. London is a vast and politically isolating place. It doesn't have to be. Alone we are ignored, but together...
Objectives
Young Journalism
Established publications almost never publish from writers without reputation. The Motley Moniteur is a publication where young writers from across the UK can share thinking, analyse and publish with the option of anonymity.
Grassroots policy proposal
Young people understand the problems they face best. Those with the initiative to research and understand their world deserve to be heard. Complaining is always easy, anyone who offers solutions is a rare commodity.
Incubate University Societies
We seek students at London Universities who would like to set up Reform and freedom loving societies, to be with them in-person presence and advise. We loose the freedoms we don't exercise. If groups like Palestine Action have a comfortable presence on campus, why shouldn't we?
Discussion & Speakers
A forum for debating ideas, policy and happenings. A platform for senior figures from Reform UK and others to address London youth. Challenging our ideas lets us strengthen or replace them with better ones.
Cultural & Intellectual Leadership
Most westminster politicians can't name their 3 favourite political thinkers. Oxbridge intellectual output is not what it once was. We need time immemorial truths that fortify us, come what may from jaded westminster and hostile press. Reading & discussing figures from Thucydides & Pericles to Machiavelli and others can give us clear sightedness few have left in this post-literate age.
Making the Case for Youth
The right typically gives up on the youth because it's not a source of votes. Youth participation increases youth turnout. The youth vote is essential to long term political vitality. Young men aren't chauvinistic, ahem. It's on us to make these arguments to the wider movement.
