Conservative+Party

Our Shadow Cabinet


The Conservative Party believes in a strong bond between the government and the people. We feel that there should be a transparency and the people should see the government in action. We as well as all a large amount of Great Britain are ready for change in the government. The situation today is not working for our hope for tomorrow. We need to work together right now to make a change in the damage that has been done in the recent years. It is time to switch hands of power over to the conservative party. Here are a few of our pinions that we feel strongly about.  David Cameron, Loyal opposition leader, is a strong leader of the conservative party. He is a man that is well prepared to fix this recent economic crisis. He believes in the strong ideals of the conservative party. Cameron feels that in order to get out of this crisis the British government needs to take control of the deficit then get people to work. He, unlike the Prime Minister of today, will fix this crisis.

 * Foreign policy **: Foreign policy in the conservative party, or shadow cabinet, is totally against the European Union. Being a part of the EU means that we have to follow every law that they pass, which could mean things like instituting things such as the euro as a replacement for the pound, and changing the way things are run. The Lisbon treaty was recently passed, which creates a common law that all countries in the EU have to follow. Each of the member countries could ratify the treaty and some even went as far as holding a referendum. They listened to what their people wanted. Why didn’t we do that? If the conservative party was elected we would have held a referendum for the people of Great Britain and let them have a say in all of this change that the treaty will impose. ======

 **Exchequer**: Currently, the main concern of the Conservative Party once we are in power is correction of the economic mess the Labour Party has created for the British people. We continue to watch taxpayer money be wasted for things as ridiculous as 24 million GBP in the last four years on car chauffers. It's just another example of the Labour party not caring about the British people, looking out only for themselves, and more recently, trying to restore their name. Alas, it is only desparation; Brown has so blown up the deficit that proves that the Conservative Party is much better able to handle the job. Ironically, inequality in Britain has gotten worse under the watch of the Labour party, and Cameron's plan of shifting from "state action to social action" is surely a step in the right direction. Cameron already has a plan to combat the deficit with his Emergency Growth budget- a drastic plan to jump-start the economy in the short term, and promote growth in the long term, by promoting investment, renew credit, and "overhaul welfare and education", to name a few things. The Conservatives see that action needs to be taken now, as things only to continue to deteriorate, a notion unfamiliar to the Labour Party. Since Labour has allowed things to get so out of control (175 billion GDP out of control), things could be a lillte hard to swallow- a cuts in spending could mean a tax increase for the wealthy at first. But this is the price we pay-uncontrolled spending, beleive it or not Labour, does eventually catch up to you. So now we are faced with this. It is time for someone to take action, and start speaking realistically, and honestly, about what needs to be done, and George Osborne, along with the Conservative Party, is the someone that the British people need.

** Devolution ** :The Conservative Party focuses on decentralization, which transfers power from the central state to the local people and institutions. No regional government planning and housing is necessary, because this responsibility will be given to local communities. Taxes should be in the handled in local government rather than in London’s central government so that citizens have more direct involvement. Councils will also be in charge of economic development. Conservatives support a direct democracy that gives citizens more say with bottom- up incentives. For example citizens will have the opportunity to choose whether they have an elected mayoral referendums. Councils will be required to provide information and motives so that people are aware of issues allowing citizens to remain close to their local governments. Citizens will even have the power to veto council on local issues.

** Terrorism ** : Foreign affairs are based on a liberal approach to conservatism. Openness and engagement with the world to promote human rights and democracy is key. Though when it comes to foreign affairs, the conservatives are liberal, our policies are stern and practical and not unrealistic. The Conservatives Party views terrorism in Iraq as a serious issue and challenge. We strongly support NATO, the UN, and the G8, over dealing with foreign issues alone. Dealing with terrorism requires the combination of America, Europe, and the commonwealth to stand together. Responsibilities are global because the surrounding world affects Great Britain. The Conservative Party plans to restore foreign policy in government by establishing a national security council. It is important for the Great Britain to continue relations with the United States and extend our alliances and trade elsewhere as well.
