Manchester Central has seen its biggest hustings to date, organised by 38 degrees. Parliamentary hopefuls presented their answers to set questions asked by the organisers and affiliated groups, before taking questions from the two hundred plus strong audience. The topics discussed ranged from excessive surveillance and inequality to TTIP and climate change. 

Manchester Conservatives Deputy Chairman and local candidate for Didsbury West David Semple took part in Question Time Special organised by Manchester User’s Network. The panel, consisting of parliamentary and local candidates representing the whole political spectrum, was chaired by BBC health correspondent Elaine Dunkley.

Manchester Central Prospective Parliamentary Candidate Xingang Wang launched his campaign with a fund raising dinner at local Chinese restaurant. More than 30 supporters, volunteers and friends attended the event on 07 March Saturday evening at Sweet Mandarin, one of the highly regarded restaurants. President of Manchester Federation Peter Hilton introduced Xingang as ‘an excellent candidate for Manchester Central’. Xingang said: ‘I will work hard for Manchester people…let’s work together to ensure we have a Conservative majority government.’ Federation Chairman Nicholas Savage highly praised Xingang as ‘the candidate who delivers’.

On Saturday 28th February Team Manchester - PPC Michelle Tanfield (Blackley & Broughton), PPC Xingang Wang (Manchester Central), PCC Mohammed Afzal (Manchester Gorton) and Rob Manning (Manchester Withington) - led a city-wide campaign day with friends and supporters. The day was action-packed with every constituency in the city receiving a visit. The candidates and their teams met hundreds of people both in the street and whilst canvassing with thousands of leaflets delivered. City of Manchester Conservative Association Chairman Nick Savage commented: "We have a diverse, committed and forward-looking team. As well as acting as excellent local champions for their constituencies these candidates understand the need to come together and promote a message for the entire City of Manchester."

Manchester Conservatives were honoured to host 1922 Committee Chairman Graham Brady for the official introduction of our parliamentary candidates last week. Team Manchester's diverse broad backgrounds and broad range of experience will make a significant contribution to the general election campaign throughout the city of Manchester and the North West.

Dear members and friends,it is with great pleasure that we can announce that the Federation will be hosting it's annual dinner on Friday 23rd January at Chancellors Hotel in Fallowfield with 1922 Committee Chairman The Rt Hon Graham Brady MP.This is the flagship event of our social calendar and an excellent opportunity to meet the parliamentary candidates - as well as catch up with old friends or get to know new members. A three course menu will be offered with Kosher, Halal and vegetarian compliant options followed by a raffle and a unique opportunity to meet the newly selected parliamentary Candidates for the 2015 General Election.

With only six months until the general election campaign officially kicks off, we are facing an uphill struggle to get our message out to the voters. Things are finally picking up for Britain after over four years of hard work climbing out of the worst recession since the 1930s. Just to show you how successful Conservative policies have been for the country, you only have to look at the fact that the European Union is begging us for an extra £1.7billon while the Germans and French have to be bailed out with a refund. That's success for David Cameron and the Conservatives. 

The party conferences are over and now, more than ever, the choice Britain faces is clear.On the one hand it's a modern Conservative Party determined to address the concerns of Britain today: cutting the deficit, protecting the NHS, controlling Immigration, and offering a real choice on Europe.

Join Manchester Conservatives for a Sunday Lunch fundraiser on Sunday 2nd November at the Greenfinch, West Didsbury to support the Withington Constituency. The event will begin at 12.30 for 1pm.We'll be hosting Baroness Susan Williams of Trafford on the afternoon as our guest speaker, and holding a raffle with some excellent prizes!

Manchester CF were delighted to host Jacqueline Foster, Conservative MEP for the North West to discuss issues facing Britain in Europe and a European Referendum.
