Three reasons why the people of Gateshead should vote Conservative


The Conservative party want to see a change:

Fixing our broken society- Conservatives are not the party which only look after the rich. This is a handy myth a lot of opposing parties like to perpetuate. Conservatives have focused their policy making initiatives on lifting the poorest 20% out of poverty in the last few years. The poverty gap under this labour government has become wider. Their ideas are not working.

Fixing our broken economy- It is a myth the Tories do not care about the North East. They understand the need to support local communities in a time of recession and to temper the traditional north/south divide. On a national level they will take firm action on Labour’s huge deficit bill to bring it under control. They have been honest about the cuts that need to be made.

Fixing our broken politics- Everyone is fed up with British politics. The Conservatives are already demonstrating they want to do things differently, such as the open primaries they have held which give all constituents a vote to choose the candidate of their choice. The Conservatives will work with the electorate to get it right.
