The General Election date has now been confirmed for 6th May, and the choice could not be clearer.
The re-election of Gordon Brown’s government - with more debt, waste and taxes - will bring us a new recession. For the last 13 years working people have seen their taxes go up and up and their money wasted. Labour politicians admit there is at least £11 billion of waste, but they want to wait a year before dealing with it. Instead of cutting waste, Gordon Brown is increasing the national insurance tax.
The Conservatives will cut Labour waste to stop this tax on jobs. Anyone earning between £7,100 and £45,400 will gain by up to £150 a year with the Conservatives. 7 out of 10 working people will be better off under our plans than under Labour – and nobody will be worse off. Experts predict thousands of jobs will be saved. At the same time, we’ll take action to reduce the debt so we can help keep mortgage payments lower than under Labour. And we’ll reform the welfare system by getting people into jobs and cutting benefits for people who refuse to work.
We’re all in this together, and we need new energy and fresh ideas to get Britain working for everyone.
