Conservatives Abroad is the British Conservative Party's global network of members & supporters living overseas.
Conservatives Abroad has members and groups around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. While some countries have one national Conservatives Abroad group, some countries are represented by a number of difference groups based in different areas, particularly when a country is large and Conservative overseas Britons are spread out such as Australia, France, Spain and the USA.
History
While some overseas Conservative groups had been active since the 1970s, Conservatives Abroad was not formally created until 1986. Its purpose is to keep Conservative supporters who are temporarily or permanently living abroad in touch with domestic politics in the United Kingdom, to campaign for the votes of the overseas British community, and increase the number of overseas registered voters in those communities.
Conservatives Abroad also serves its members' interests by raising issues and concerns facing Britons living overseas with politicians,[1] and by lobbying to reform overseas voting laws.[2] While the party leader is usually president of Conservatives Abroad, the individual local groups are represented and governed by a group representative.
Worldwide Groups
Conservatives Abroad operates a global network of local groups. Originally it operated 35 active groups operating in 21 countries around the world, however this figure has since grown.[3]
