Vote for Change: The Leaflet

Eric Pickles, the Conservative Party Chairman we all know and love, has launched a new leaflet setting out the clear choice that voters will have to make at this election.

The choice is simple: Five more years of Gordon Brown, or change with the Conservatives.

"After 13 years of Labour failings the country needs new leadership and a new sense of direction", Eric said. "The Conservatives are ready to serve and ready to bring about the real, lasting change that Britain needs."

The leaflet lists six key reasons why we have to make sure people vote for change:

1. Act now on debt to get the economy moving

   - Deal with the deficit more quickly than Labour so that mortgage rates stay lower for longer with the Conservatives.

2. Get Britain working by boosting enterprise

   - Cut corporation tax rates, abolish taxes on the first ten jobs created by new businesses, promote green jobs, and get people off welfare and into work.

3. Make Britain the most family-friendly country in Europe

   - Freeze council tax and raise the basic state pension, recognise marriage in the tax system and back couples in the benefits system, support young families with extra health visitors, and fightback against crime.

4. Back the NHS

   - Increase spending on health every year, and make the NHS work for patients not managers.

5. Raise standards in schools

   - Give teachers the power to restore discipline, and create new smaller schools.

6. Change politics

   - Reduce the number of MPs, cut Whitehall and quangos by a third, and let taxpayers see where their money is being spent.

This is the message that needs to go far and wide in the coming weeks. Why not pass a few leaflets around to your friends and colleagues? You can download the leaflet by clicking here
