At the general election, the British people will face a clear and important choice: between competence and chaos. All Labour offer is more of the same: more spending, more borrowing, more taxes, more debt. They would threaten the financial security of families across Britain. The Liberal Democrats are all over the place, unable to decide whether they want to stick to the plan or veer off it. And they – like UKIP – would be prepared to prop up a failing Labour Government. In contrast, the Conservatives offer a long-term economic plan that is working. As the Autumn Statement confirmed, the deficit is falling, unemployment is falling, and our economy is growing. Indeed – ours is the fastest growing of any major advanced economy in the world. It was also a distinctively Conservative Autumn Statement. By overhauling stamp duty, supporting business, and letting husbands and wives inherit their partners ISA tax-free, we are backing people’s deeply-held aspirations to better their lives, to own their own home, to work and to save. That is what drives this Party – doing the right thing by the hardworking people of Britain – and that is why we must stick to the long-term economic plan. Since 2010, we have seen, on average, 1000 new jobs created every single day. 800,000 more children are learning in good or outstanding schools. Almost 2 million people have taken up an Apprenticeship. 26 million people have had their income taxes cut. Help to Buy has helped over 50,000 people buy a home of their own. And we have increased the State Pension by £800, giving people more dignity and security in retirement. Our long-term plan is working. It is changing lives. As the Chancellor said: “we must stay on course to prosperity” – because the hopes, dreams, and livelihoods of millions are at stake. This is a message for our Party to rally behind and fight for, now and every day until May 2015.
