The following joint-letter is to be sent to the Workers’ Youth League (Norway) on behalf of Conservative Future, Young Labour and Liberal Youth
Workers’ Youth League,
We are deeply shocked and saddened by the events that unfolded on Friday in Norway. As leaders of youth political parties in the UK, we are hurt by what happened and offer our thoughts and condolences to the friends and families of those who tragically died.
We know Friday’s events are hugely testing to the people of Norway, but they are already coming out stronger. Bullets will not take away freedom of speech, the ability to work for progressive principles or the opportunity to debate in a free and fair democracy. We all want to see young people in the future get the best out of society. We stand with our peers to ensure that this will never be undermined by hatred.
We all hold training events and organise activities similar to the Workers’ Youth League. What happened is incomprehensible.
But the barrel of a gun will never win the battle of ideas and these horrific actions have only served to entrench our belief and understanding of democracy, making it stronger as a result.
Ben Howlett, National Chairman Conservative Future
Susan Nash, National Chairman Young Labour
Tom Wood, National Chairman Liberal Youth
