Conservatives Abroad is an umbrella organisation of British Conservative Party-supporting organisations based outside the United Kingdom.
Description
Some overseas Conservative organisations have been active since the 1970s, but Conservatives Abroad was not formally created until 1986. From the perspective of the central Conservative Party, the organisation exists as a political discussion forum, to keep Conservative supporters in touch with domestic British politics, to campaign for the votes of the British expatriate community, and increased registered voters in those communities. Conservatives Abroad also serves its members' interests by raising with Conservative politicians issues facing Britons living overseas, and by lobbying to reform overseas voting laws.[11]
