It’s a good time to join the Conservative Party

Politics has never been so important as it is today and as a Conservative Party member you can help make Britain a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few. Our party membership fees are the lowest of all the major political parties and represents excellent value for money.

Why should I become a member?

Labour Governments fail to deliver on their promises. The Conservative Party is best placed to clear up the mess left by Labour. Conservatives care passionately about the issues which matter most to people. In the Wellingborough constituency, local Conservatives are in touch with people’s views and concerns. Through our Listening to Wellingborough & Rushden campaign, we are able to focus on the important issues affecting everyone locally. We will endeavour to deliver on the issues that matter most to you. Through your support as a member you can help us to achieve our objectives.

Am I eligible to be a member?

Any person living in the United Kingdom is eligible to join the Conservative Party. Applicants are not required to be registered voters or United Kingdom nationals. People living outside the United Kingdom can join Conservatives Abroad. There is no upper or lower age limit on membership, although children under the age of 15 are not entitled to full voting rights. Membership of the Conservative Party is not compatible with membership of, or association with, any other registered political party. The Party reserves the right to refuse membership to any individual. Please see our Membership Terms and Conditions page for more details.
