Counterculture 1.07: Does Conservatism Have a Future?

"If you're young and not a liberal you have no heart. If you're over 35 and still a liberal you have no head." How accurate is that oft-quoted stereotype? If only those aged 18-25 were eligible to vote in the recent General Election, then Jeremy Corbyn's Labour would have had a majority of over 500 seats, with Boris Johnson's Tories reduced to a pitiful 4 seats. With this in mind, does the Conservative Party have a future in British politics? How will they be able to get re-elected decades from now? Or are reports correct that the youngest generation (Generation Z) proving to be more conservative than the preceding generation of Millenials? Joining Peter Whittle this week to discuss this is a panel of Young Tories: Emily Hewertson: 19 year old member of the Conservative Party who became a national sensation following her spirited contribution during an episode of BBC's Question Time.
