LEADERS GO HEAD TO HEAD!

Engaging the electorate in debate, questions and interest in politics has been a concern for all politicians in recent years.

So I welcome the opportunity for political leaders of the main parties to go head to head in 3 televised debates next year.

David Cameron has long called for these debates to take place!

In a media dominated world, hopefully these debates that bring the political leaders into every home will help to bring the issues that face our country into greater scrutiny.

I welcome the opportunity in 2010 to continue putting forward Conservative policies of change that the country desperately needs!
