If our democratic system is to flourish, it is vital that people are active in the parties they support. Parties are a crucial component of British political life and local party organisations are an essential component of politics in the United Kingdom.

Naturally, as a Conservative Member of Parliament, I would welcome you as a member of our local organisation here in Mid Worcestershire, but if your instincts are with one of the other parties, I hope you will think of joining them. Without people making their contribution to politics, the political parties will be less representative of your views and less able to reflect them in local councils, at Westminster or at the European parliament.

If you are unsure about the policies of the individual parties, please explore the links below. I have included links to the three main parties only, but there are plenty more out there for you to discover.

Naturally, if you have any questions about how to get involved in politics then please do not hesitate to contact me.
