The hard work which our members, activists and helpers gave during the election campaign had one overriding motivation - the desire to see a majority Conservative government enacting a Conservative agenda. With the Queen's speech this week we saw that this will be the fortunate reality over the length of the next Parliament. Some of the things outlined included:
- Cuts to regulation for small business
- Right to buy for housing association tenants
- Crack down on illegal immigration
- Continuing to reform welfare with welfare cap
- Seven day NHS
- No income tax for working 30 hours per week on the minimum wage
- No rise in VAT for next five years
- Extension of free childcare
- A clear in/out EU referendum
- The introduction of a British Bill of Rights
These are real Conservative policies delivered by a real Conservative government. The role that every volunteer, helper and member had in making this possible cannot be overstated.
