Conservatives know that governments don?t have all the answers ? far from it. But if they govern with the right values, they can make a real difference. Trusting free enterprise; promoting individual responsibility; cherishing a sense of nationhood; rewarding hard work; admiring excellence; encouraging ambition ? these are all the right values. They are Conservative values. And they are the values of the forgotten majority ? the people who make up the backbone of the country. They have been forgotten and taken for granted by Mr Blair. He asked them to trust him and they did. He let us down. At this election, the British people have a clear choice: four more years of Mr Blair, who?s been all talk and thinks he can get away with it again, or a new direction with a Conservative Government that will act on the things that really matter to people. We understand and share the concerns and priorities of the forgotten majority ? more police, cleaner hospitals, school discipline, lower taxes and controlled immigration. We will protect and improve front-line services by increasing funding, scrapping Labour?s target culture and restoring control to teachers and to doctors and nurses. We will raise pensions in line with earnings and cut Council Tax and we will change Labour?s local government funding formula that means rural areas lose out. We will oppose giving more power to the EU, resist the EU Constitution and never scrap the pound. We will honour the traditions and freedoms of our country and importantly for our part of the world, protect our rural communities and way of life, which Tony Blair does not understand. That means working with farmers not against them and believing in British agriculture. It means supporting village shops and post offices and a revolution in affordable housing so that thousands more people, particularly in rural areas, have the chance of buying a share in their own home, which they will be able to increase over time. I also believe that we have to try to restore a sense of integrity and duty to public life. I will try my utmost to do that and to serve our local community, in which I live permanently with my family, to the very best of my ability.
