## Resource

Podcast host Duncan Barkes and the TPA's Will Yarwood chat to Clark Vasey, co-founder and director of Blue Collar Conservatism. They discuss the Conservative Party's role in representing those that work for a living and are classed as blue collar or white collar workers. Clark also explains his motivation for setting up Blue Collar Conservatism in 2012 and why it has never been more important for the Conservative Party to show they understand the needs and frustrations of this cohort of voters.
