0:00
for Kemi Baden-Octeer because she has had a bit of bad press in recent months, but you
0:03
think she might have done enough to bring it back. Now, obviously, the Conservatives have long had a problem with attracting young people to the party. You're 22. Do you think
0:11
the leader of the Conservatives have done enough today to bring back some younger votes? Absolutely. Kemi is a fantastic leader, especially with the young Conservatives, which has now
0:19
increased the age of 30, which then gets more of us in the party and more of us involved
0:24
It's very important to have young people involved in the Conservatives because we are the future
0:27
of this country. And what did you make of the conference in general? People have said
0:31
it's been quieter than usual. How do you think the atmosphere has been? It has been quieter
0:35
than usual. Mind you, I can't really talk about that much because this is my first conference. But from what I've seen, it's been absolutely fantastic. Seen so many young people and much
0:44
more than I expected. And it says on the front at the start today that you have an ambition
0:49
to be a councillor. What would you like to do in the future? What are your long-term
0:53
political ambitions? Is this the last we see of James? I doubt you. I think you'll be seeing
0:57
a lot more of me in the next next while I just want to concentrate on my degree first
1:01
at Oxford Brookes University and then take time out of that when I graduate and then
1:07
I'll hopefully be able to run for a councillor and then we'll see where I go from there
1:11
Well brilliant James I hope we see you see lots more of you again in the future and thank
1:14
you so much for coming on GB News. Well there you go James McAlpine there that was you know
1:20
Conservative members really really loved that speech in the hall really happy with what
1:24
they heard. This is the reaction that I'm getting from everyone I've spoken to coming out of the hall. And they think that Kemi Baden-Ock may have done enough to get some
1:31
of those voters back from reform. The proof will be in the pudding, I suppose
