More interesting information from the “culling” article referred to below, in which it reports that branches with less than 100 party members will be expected to merge with other, bigger branches and that branches are sitting on property and assets worth at least £34m. Membership of the Conservative Party have plummeted from 263,00 in 2005 to around 134,000 today.
“… The internal review found that Conservative associations were sitting on assets of property, buildings and cash worth £34million which were “likely to be much higher” as properties had not been revalued in a long time. …
… “It also calls for the creation of more expensive “gold” and “silver” memberships – offering perks such as invitations to “meet the minister” events.” …
…”The administration of membership would be transferred to the central party and the £50-a-year silver and £100-a-year gold membership deals introduced “to enhance the membership experience”.
