The Conservative Collegiate Forum (CCF) was the British Conservative Party's national student organisation from 1986 to 1998.
It was the successor to the Federation of Conservative Students. From 1990 onwards, the organisation was widely but unofficially known as Conservative Students.
CCF existed until the merger with Young Conservatives and Conservative Graduates in 1998 to create Conservative Future.
Famous quotes containing the words conservative and/or forum:
“When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It’s a remarkably shrewed and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
