I think it’s fair to say that the last Chairman who genuinely took
membership growth seriously was Ken Baker. I remember meeting with him a few
times in 1990 when he ran the ‘90 new branches in 1990’ campaign. I set up a
couple of YC branches in that year. Some of the Chairmen since then have been
abysmal. They should just be honest and say they don’t actually want members,
they just want us to donate and deliver leaflets.

Craig, Peter Brooke launched the "Bulldog" campaign in 1988
with literature etc. Big splash at Party Conference. This was the last time
members were taken seriously. Ken Baker at least tried!

David Cameron sent 1m letters boosting flagging membership in 2006...
John E. Strafford
Mike, didn't work because the establishment had just tried to stop
members having the final say on the election of the Leader. Trust was missing!
Mike Chattey
you'll be pleased to note that the 1m campaign worked in spades.
Mark Cotterell
Membership fell substantially under the DC/GO Cameroon decade. Indeed El
Comm submissions prove this in 90% of Assocs.
Mike Chattey
Yup they did after 2012 ..DC massively boosted them when he became
leader.
John E. Strafford
When Cameron became Leader Party membership was 255,000. In 2013
it was 149,800 as per House of Commons library. Where did your 1 million go
Mike Chattey
As you well know ...single sex marriage act had a reaction. I
guess if members had been allowed a vote...Milliband would still be in
power..hey ho
John E. Strafford
Milliband never was in power. Pure speculation. Why not just stick
to the facts which you got spectacularly wrong!
Mike Chattey
The fact is you have been flogging a dead horse for all these years
...you are on the wrong side of the argument...and will remain so. Over and
out.
John E. Strafford
That is what they said when I proposed a Party Board. We got one three
years later. That is what they said when I proposed a Party Constitution. We
got one four years later! For the Tory Party to survive it will have to become
a democratic organisation!
