MPs on campus
Toby Manhire has put together at The Listener an amusing collection of photos of MPs with their youth wings at university campuses around the country.
There has been a real revival in recent years of students getting involved in politics, through their youth wings. I don’t know the numbers for the other parties but understand the Young National signed up 1,500 members over the course of Orientation Week. That’s more members than some parties have in their entire membership!
