Ballot papers should be arriving through your letterbox today - if you don’t get one call the ERS on 020 8889 9203.

I want to restore the Conservatism in Conservative Future. I will do so through core conservative principles: taking a professional, business-like approach to running our organisation, decentralising power and promoting a broader coalition of conservative-minded people.

My main proposals focus on invigorating and expanding CF, by building up support and influence from the base upwards. I will break the stranglehold of the NME: too much power rests in too few hands. Ordinary CF members, like you and I - outsiders who do the real work, on the ground - should decide how CF is run EVERY day, not just once a year.

I have recorded a short video message to share my views & plans for CF.

I have travelled all over the country, speaking to and meeting members, discussing their concerns, plans and ideas. This dialogue will continue for the rest of the campaign and beyond: you can email at michael@rock4cf.com, phone me on 07903 016809 or leave comments on this website.

The most valuable resource we have in CF is the members and I am determined that CF changes to reflect that. You can view my Business Plan here or view specific policy areas on: CF Conference, CF membership plans, Regionalisation, National Days, CF website, CF Protests, Social action & Democracy in Action tours.

Don’t settle for the same old Conservative Future, let’s return CF to its members, influence and power to a local level and make us the organisation that leads the Conservatives back into power - vote Rock4CF!

Today is the day - ballot papers will be going out across the country for 10,000 CF members to vote who they want to be Conservative Future National Chairman. Let’s make this the year when CF members vote for themselves: vote Rock4CF to give CF back to the membership! 

Why vote for Michael Rock? 

I want to restore the Conservatism in Conservative Future.  I will do so through core conservative principles, taking a professional business-like approach to making our organisation bigger, better & bolder!

My main proposal is to invigorate and expand CF, by building up support and influence from the base upwards. This process involves giving more influence and power to the Area Chairs and encouraging a culture of open dialogue and idea-sharing.

My Business Plan for CF covers six areas, which I have gone over in detail on this blog:

• Strong & supported CF branches
• Increasing financial resources for Conservative Future
• The CF website & general communication
• Accountable NME & Area Chairman
• Distguishing CF members
• Conservative Future events & campaigning

Don’t settle from the same old CF, let’s return the bottom-up system to CF and make us the organisation that leads the Conservatives back into power - vote Rock4CF!

What if you do not get a ballot paper?

From the CF website: “If the member can verify their details then they will get a ballot paper. In this regard, ERS will establish a CF election helpdesk – please call 020 8889 9203. This number will be open from 11th February and can be used by Members, who for whatever reason do not get a ballot paper.”
