Call that election. We will fight - Britain will win

Yesterday (Wednesday 3/10/07), David Cameron closed the 2007 Conference by challenging Gordon Brown to call an election and "let the people decide".

He described the "old politics" of Labour as no longer relevant for a new world, and stressed that only the modern approach of the Conservatives could inspire the British people.

Speaking without notes, he said a Conservative Government would give people more opportunity and power over their lives; make families stronger and society more responsible; and make Britain safer and greener.

And he outlined a number of major policies:

- Scrapping top-down targets in the NHS

- Allowing voluntary organisations, private companies and churches to set up state schools

- Cutting stamp duty

- A referendum on the EU Treaty

- Ending the "revolving door" of the benefits system

- A lifeboat fund to help the victims of Gordon Brown's pension crisis

- Recognising the importance of marriage in the tax system

- Scrapping the ID Card scheme

- Ending the appeals panel that prevents head-teachers from excluding disruptive pupils

- Making police responsible to locally elected mayors rather than the Home Office.

Stephen Metcalfe, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for South Basildon & East Thurrock said, "I believe that these policy outlines will change Britain for the better and provide real benefits for the people south Basildon & East Thurrock."
