Dudley Conservative Future

Whilst canvassing around Castle and Priory for the past week, I have noticed that many local residents are fed up with the British political system; they are fed up of MPs and Councillors. One resident I spoke to made it quite clear that he would not be voting for anyone as he considered politicians to be ‘in it for themselves’. I want to become a Councillor in order to be able to put something back into my community. To me personally, it is a way of saying thank you to those community and voluntary groups that have greatly influenced me and many others. My community has looked after me, but this government has not looked after my community. Levels of crime, unemployment and child poverty have risen alongside debt and house prices. And at the same time, the number of Police Constables has decreased, 4 out of 5 jobs created under Labour have gone to economic migrants. We now borrow money at a rate of £6000 a second; the failings in social care have led to a broken society and taxes have risen. For what?

Local politicians can only do a small part in keeping council tax low and providing the best services at the best prices. Though it is up to you, as the electorate, to send a clear message to Gordon Brown. We need to put across the message that we do not want 5 more years of Labour failings. We want a better country for our children to grow up in, without the fear of high taxes for generations to come. Taxes to pay for mis-management of our country.
