A FRESH START - NOT A SECOND LOOK

Gordon Brown is asking people to give his Party a second look but the reality is people have seen the Labour Party and its works for the past 13 years.

David Cameron recently spoke to the Scottish Conservatives and outlined his fresh start for the country by a reformed Conservative Party.

He said that country’s problems were so intense that the country needed not just a modern Conservative Party, but a radical Conservative Party too.

David Cameron said: ‘After thirteen years of a Labour Government that has spent too much, centralised too much, bureaucratised too much, legislated too much, regulated too much and bossed everyone around too much, turning things around will require radical change. If we win the election, we will start attacking the great challenges this country faces with a radical zeal from day one.’

Over the weeks I have set out in this blog the big changes the Conservatives are proposing in a host of areas on areas such as housing, local government, the health service and crime.

A Conservative Government will stop pretending that only the government and the public sector have the answers. Centralised bureaucracy that wastes money, saps morale and crushes innovation will be reduced. State monopoly on public services will be opened up to new providers with new ideas.

David Cameron added in his speech: ‘We will let those providers, new or old, state, private or voluntary get on with the job of giving people a great service. And we will pay them by the results they achieve. Some people will say: ‘you can’t do things like that. You can’t afford to take those risks.’ But the reality is that, with so little money and so much failure, we can’t afford not to.’

Brighton will benefit from this fresh approach where people will be given real control of their lives and resources. A new Conservative Government will do what works and not let outdated thinking hamper the people’s progress.
