Young Conservative: 'Party girls can do politics'

The young politicians of tomorrow are growing up with social media today - so should they be filtering what they post to suit their political futures?

Emily Hewertson doesn't think so. She's 19, and like many girls her age she likes clubbing and Instagram - but she's also a member of the Conservative party, an influencer for right-wing group Turning Point UK and an aspiring politician.

She went viral after appearing in the audience of a BBC Question Time election special where many viewers were quick to point out that she doesn't look like your "typical politician".
