all women shortlists....hace 60 días
 
...bad idea. I support more women MP's but forcing all-women shortlists on to local parties is not the way to go about it.
Be selected and elected on how good you are, not what you are.

The last Party Conferencehace 99 días
 



Tension is sky high, will the Conservatives manage to put together a good conference that will blow Labour out of the water. Or will Labour fight really hard at their conference and change the tide in their direction for the election?

David Cameron has announced that he will reopen the Conservative parliamentary candidates list.

In an interview on the Andrew Marr show, David said he wanted to “open up the talent that is available in Parliament".

And he urged people to apply for our candidates list even if they have never been involved in politics before:

“If you believe in public service, if you want to help us clean up politics, if you share our values come and be a Conservative candidate.”

My comment is somehow not allowed so i am posting it here. hace 268 días
 
I agree totally with the Conservative party that Labour have ruined the British economy for many many years to come. And I am all for the consevative party and there love of the union. But at the end of the day in my opinion I believe the conservative party only care about the rich folk in the UK, to them its about helping those with money that can help the Consevatives.

There are more people in the Uk on the breadline in terms of there income than there is millionaires. The Conservatives need to show us ( the average people) that they are for the average joes, may i put it that way.

I am a Northern Irish ( British) Protestant, and right now i vote DUP. I know longer want to vote DUP as they are selling Northern Ireland down the river, by coming into goverment with Sinn Fein (supporters of terrerists) simply IRA scum. If the conservatives want to beat useless Labour in the next election then i think they can do it if they get the Unionists of Northern Ireland on there side. And they are starting to do that by getting Sir Reg and the UUP to come together with them.

I wouldn't be long in changing my vote to UUP (consevative) if the Conservative party would change there views on who they consider they are working for in this country, the rich people or the majority of the British people. But until that happens my vote is going to be a wasted vote, the same as many people who have the same views as myself. And other people with different views will not also vote because they don't believe in any kind of party and what they have to say, because bassically were told one thing then it turns out to be a lie in the long run. Dosnt matter what politicion says it, sadly its always the same old story

We need a goverment in charge of the UK that has a BACK BONE about them, which i seriously doubt will ever happen. It seriously is gettin ridiculous the state of our great nation with all this political correctness, which seriously is a load of bull.

Allowing these hate preachers to slate our Britsh culture and openly too on the land of Britain to say our brave soldiers should be killed, it's just not on.

That these same men that say these treacherous things should be allowed to keep doing it. And for nothing to be done about it.

If any person wants to live in the United Kingdom says such disgusting things and acts in this type of manner, in all honesty they should be arrested and put in jail, which would probably be a waste of time as it will probably cost us millions to keep them safe in a cushy British jail which these days is more like a holiday camp.

Instead of sayin oh no there allowed there freedom of speech. Which i totally believe in (our brave soldiers of the past fought for this right) but when it comes to this sort of thing it shouldnt be allowed.

Instead of giving them money to live here and looking after such people so well when they arn't here to do us any good, why should they be giving tax payers money, they should be sent out of here to where they belong.

How can either the conservatives or labour allow this to happen just baffles me, sorry sickens me to the core. Such crimes of treachery should result in death. And i mean that from the bottom of my heart, they should be tortured, hung made work for us, whatever it takes to punish them.

I mean for instance how can the courts send away ordinary people to jail for such petty things as not paying a stupid fine or things as mediorcore as that. When non British people can insite hate and get away with it scott free and not face jail. I mean i am up in court myself for a charge of causing injury to someone, beacuse i was assulted by a man who i fought back against and caused him an injury, and i might be looking jail time, which inevitably will affect me the rest of my life. I will find it hard to find a job etc etc.

Anyways they reckon its better to put such people in our over crowded jails but not these true criminals. And not just them you hear everyday a man who killed a woman gets a absolutly stupid jail term like 6 years and hes out in less than that. Or people who rape or kill babies are the same such stupid jail terms.

Whatever goverment is in charge next they seriously needs to look at how GREAT BRITAIN (not any more in most peoples eyes) is run.

We need to be strong we need to work together to get us out of such a mess, that means everyone. But it needs to start with u lot the Government. I think were need a Prime Minister who can realte to the British people and we are many years away from that.

In all honesty, we miss the likes of Mrs Thatcher and Mr Major who wern't scared to say what they truely believed, who wern't scared to stand up against terrorists, who wern't scared of what people thought of them or how they were potrayed in the paper.

Who believed in a Britain for British loving people, and who definatly would never allow such hate preachers to say such treacherous things. Unlike todays Goverment who would rather punish and rob us blind than look after there only people.

One more thing i think the Goverment should seriously look at the scandolous amount of money that's floating around football, such as players wages and the amount used to buy players. I don't know what you can do but they really need to force a cap on it. I mean there was talk of Manchester City buying KaKa for £100 million, which seriously is a disgrace, somthing should be done about it. And if they can somehow use the money to pump it back into the country

I seriously could go on all day but the sorry state the Goverments left the United Kingdom, but i'll just leave you with a very very small piece of my thoughts and millions of others, whos views, beliefs and thoughts maybe arn't the same as mine but who all feel the same about the state of the country.

The Big Apology, from national Party , http://www.conservatives.com/hace 460 días
 
Mr. Brown has said he will use his speech at the Labour Party Conference to say sorry for everything he's done wrong since he became Prime Minister. And with a lot to apologise for, he could be speaking for a long, long time.

Brown's Big Apology is due to take place on Tuesday 23rd September - and we'll be publishing one reason for him to say sorry every day up to then.

Chris Grayling, the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, stressed, "We're going to remind him every day until that speech just how much there is to apologise for."


Reason to apologise #1 - Raising taxes on Britain's poorest families

In his last Budget as Chancellor, Brown announced the abolition of the 10p starting rate of income tax, despite warnings it would hit 5.3 million low-earning families. And even after trying to undo the mess with more changes, 1.1 million low earners will still lose out by up to £112 a year.

Read George Osborne's criticism of Labour's 10p tax fiasco.


Reason to apologise #2 - Losing the personal data of 25 million people

On 20 November 2007, Alistair Darling admitted that discs containing the personal details of 25 million individuals, and the bank details of 15 million people, had been lost by HM Revenue and Customs.

Nick Herbert, the Shadow Secretary of State for Justice, called for Brown to apologise for Labour's "cavalier attitude to personal information and complete inability to deal with repeated breaches of data security."


Reason to apologise #3 - Blaming junior officials

Whether it's an article endorsing Barack Obama written in his name, the loss of half the nation's personal data or the confusion over taxing non-doms, Gordon Brown ducks responsibility and blames his officials at every opportunity. Instead of providing the strong leadership this country needs, Brown is showing himself to be Britain's weakest ever Prime Minister.


Reason to apologise #4 - Retrospectively taxing ordinary family cars

In this year's Budget, the Government announced a new, retrospective hike in Vehicle Excise Duty, meaning that drivers of 81 per cent of cars bought since 2001 will pay more in tax by 2010-11. Shadow Treasury Minister Justine Greening said:

"Gordon Brown claimed that this was a green tax. However, ministers had to admit that it will cut motor vehicle emissions by a fraction of 1% a year.....by 2020, costing £2.4bn more and leave 9.4m motorists worse off by 2010. It truly was a poll-tax on wheels."


Reason to apologise #5 - Capital Gains Tax uncertainty

In the 2007 Pre-Budget Report, Alistair Darling announced an 80% hike in Capital Gains Tax. Brown's Government then dithered for months, creating damaging confusion and uncertainty for business, before finally performing a U-turn in January of this year. The changed levy is still expected to raise £700 million from entrepreneurs.

Read George Osborne's reaction to Labour's Capital Gains Tax U-turn.


Reason to apologise #6 - Spin over Iraq troop withdrawals

In October last year, Mr. Brown flew to Iraq to announce that 1,000 British troops would be brought home from the region by Christmas - but the withdrawal of 500 of those troops had already been announced, and a further 270 had already returned to the UK.

Brown's announcement was just pure political opportunism, and Liam Fox, the Shadow Defence Secretary, slammed his use of the Armed Forces for "political purposes":

"This is indicative of the poor treatment that the Armed Forces have received from Gordon Brown over the past 11 years. He should apologise."


Reason to apologise #7 - Damaging dithering over Stamp Duty

In August, Labour spin doctors briefed the media that a Stamp Duty holiday would be introduced as part of Brown's Economic Recovery Plan. As a result, potential homebuyers held off on making purchases, causing further damage to an already slowing housing market.

Grant Shapps, the Shadow Housing Minister, condemned Brown's actions as "a cynical piece of political manoeuvring by a Prime Minister more concerned about salvaging his career than looking after hard-pressed families battling with the rocketing cost of living."


Reason to apologise #8 - Brown's spin on 'an end to spin'

In May last year, Gordon Brown dispatched Harriet Harman to proclaim: "under a Gordon Brown regime, we need to have no spin, no briefing". But last year, Brown spent £391million on Government spin doctors - £53 million more than Blair spent in his last year.

Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude, commented:

"At a time when the British public is being taxed more than ever by this Labour Government, it's extraordinary that Gordon Brown can still find millions to spend on spin doctors to peddle Labour's propaganda."


Reason to apologise #9 - Failing to clear up Labour's finances

In December 2007, Brown said there would be "immediate changes" in the way the Labour Party is financed and called for "broader change within our system of political funding". But he has failed to alter Labour's reliance on the unions. The latest figures show that just one union – Unite – provides 40% of Labour's funding. And on 5th September, Brown's Labour Party was forced to repay a £15,000 donation from a children's charity, which it had accepted contrary to charity law.

Read Greg Clark's criticism of this "new low in Labour donations history".


Reason to apologise #10 - Closing GP surgeries
Labour's imposition of 'polyclinics' – supersized GP practices – could lead to the closure of 1,700 family doctor surgeries in England and the average distance to the nearest GP could triple. Labour are forcing every Primary Care Trust in England to open a polyclinic, regardless of whether they need one or local people want one. And the way the contracts are being drawn up is unfair, giving the new 'polyclinics' an unfair financial advantage over existing GPs.

My Reply from the Conservatives about the Lisbon Treaty hace 502 días
 
Dear Ewan,

I am writing on behalf of David Cameron to thank you for your e-mail.

We are grateful to you for taking the time and trouble to get in touch,and we certainly do take on board the points you make.

We have made it clear that if the Treaty is not yet in force at the next General Election, and if the British people choose a Conservative Government, we will hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, recommending a 'no' vote. If the British people reject the Treaty we will withdraw Britain's ratification.

However, if by this time, the Irish people have been made to vote again and approve the Treaty; if all other countries have ratified it; and if it is in force, then in our view the Treaty would lack democratic legitimacy in this country, political integration in the EU would have gone too far, and we would not let matters rest there.

Thank you, once again, for writing.
