Conservative Voice is a British campaigning group and pressure group,[2] affiliated with the grassroots of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom, founded by David Davis and Liam Fox in 2012.[3]It is a political organisation that works closely with Conservative MPs, the voluntary party and other organisations such as pressure groups to promote the best of new Conservative ideas.
They are aligned to, but de jure independent of, the British Conservative Party, that works to promote the values of grassroots Conservatism. It is located on the centre-right of the party [3] and was founded to ensure the grassroots voice is always heard, by promoting more effective campaigning methods and bringing the voluntary party together by holding cohesive events [4]with some leading to seismic and major accouncments of policy or directly concerning the future of the Conservative Party (UK) [5] [6] This is done not least by liaising regularly with their Parliamentary Working Group, led by Ranil Jayawardena MP [7].
They currently[when?] have a follower base of just under 10,000 [8] but have intentions of growing more in 2018 according to sources.
As it is located in the Grassroots of the Conservative Party, it holds true to the principles of Margaret Thatcher who was Conservative leader from 1975 to 1990, including the idea of a free market and libertarianism [9]
It has campaigned for an expansion of grammar schools.[10]
They helped eight MPs at the General Election 2017 (UK)[11] but is looking to increase its reach further, by supporting even more candidates of the party.
