Cameron Fixing Broken Politics


The Leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, has outlined his vision of sweeping Parliamentary reforms that will realign the people with democracy.

In his speech at the Open University in Milton Keynes Mr Cameron said there was need for a "radical redistribution of power". He condemned the collapse of personal responsibility and the leeching of power from the individual and the community into the hands of the elite.

Mr Cameron outlined plans for a new slimline Parliament with 10% fewer MPs, greater scrutiny of legislation and greater transparency.

At a local level the Conservatives would allow parents to choose their children's schools and the establishment of Local Housing Trusts would afford neighborhoods a greater stake in their own regeneration.

Importantly he reiterated the Conservatives' pledge to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and announced a British Bill of Rights, designed to safeguard civil liberties and reinforce political accountability.

Now is the time for a Conservative Government.
