Yeah, I posted an article recently in this thread where John Strafford, chairman of the Campaign for Conservative Democracy, said that the membership is down to around 100K now (about Lib Dem levels).
I also think it's interesting that the age tipping point of when people are more likely to vote Conservative is now 47 according to YouGov, when previously it was said to be 34.
I think Corbyn was right when he said the centre ground of UK politics is beginning to shift to the left, and I think Conservatives will need to adapt their policies as we move into future elections so they can appeal more to the increasingly important millennial voters. Campaigning again on bringing back fox hunting for instance would make them look completely out of touch.
