Cambridge University Conservative Association
The Cambridge University Conservative Association (CUCA) is a long-established political society going back to 1921, with roots in the late nineteenth century, as a Conservative branch for students at Cambridge University in England. It is looked upon by the Conservative Party as a training-ground for future party leaders. Peculiarly among university Associations, CUCA is not affiliated with the nation-wide youth branch of the Conservative Party, Conservative Future, but is "a fully independent Association", "distinct from other Conservative youth organisations and the modern-day 'Conservative Future'."
