Jonathan Fieldhouse argues that young people have more opportunities now, under the Conservatives, than they ever did under Labour. It’s frightening looking back over time and thinking about our once glorious high streets. As ‘New’ Labour came to power with their army of supporters banging the drum, they forgot the rich legacy that was presented to them. They’d forgotten what […]
In this edition of ‘Views From The Ground’, Parliament Street hears from Douglas Hansen- Luke. Douglas is the Conservative Candidate for Walsall North in the West Midlands. I’ve been following Douglas and his campaign closely on Facebook and have been incredibly impressed with his ability to use social media as a means to campaign. Now on my morning commute, I feel […]

In this article, Luke Springthorpe argues that it is time for the business rates structure to be fundamentally reformed, and George Osborne’s Budget presents an ideal opportunity for such a review to be announced. When the Conservatives entered office in 2010, they were quick to place localism at the heart of their agenda and within a year had passed the […]
Friday, March 13th, 2015 With the polls now oscillating between narrow Labour & Conservative leads, the reality seems to be that both parties are now locked in a dead heat. The build up to this situation has been an interesting one to […]
I’ve never quite known what to make of Ian Dale’s political projections. Having completed a Masters in Public Opinion and Polling and having an all-round interest in politics, Dale’s projections –if anything–give people like me, at the very least, something to read and gossip about.

Demonising David Cameron won’t engage young people in politics. Bite the Ballot today took a swipe at David Cameron for politely declining to participate in one of their online #LeadersLive debates.
