So at long last, witha Conservative Government after the next election, this country will have a new British Bill of Rights…to be passed in our Parliament …rooted in our values…and as for Labour’s Human Rights Act? Wewill scrap it, once and for all.So that’s what we offer: a Britain that everyone is proud to call home. And a very clear plan to getthere. Over the next five years we will deliver the following things: 3 million Apprenticeships. Fullemployment. The most competitive corporate taxes in the G20. Eliminating the budget deficit throughspending cuts, not tax rises. Building 100,000 new Starter Homes. Letting you pass on your pensiontax-free. Ring-fencing NHS spending so not a penny is cut.
Renegotiating in Europe. Delivering thatin-out referendum. Scrapping the Human Rights Act. No income tax until you earn £12,500. No 40ptax rate until you earn £50,000.If you want those things, vote for me. If you don’t, vote for the other guy. And let’s be clear. This is astraight fight. It doesn’t matter whether Parliament is hung, drawn or quartered, there is only one realchoice. The Conservatives or Labour. Me in Downing Street, or Ed Miliband in Downing Street. If youvote UKIP – that’s really a vote for Labour.
Here’s a thought …on 7th May you could go to bed withNigel Farage, and wake up with Ed Miliband.So this is the big question for that election. On the things that matter in your life, who do you reallytrust? When it comes to your job …do you trust Labour – who wrecked our economy – or theConservatives, who have made this one of the fastest-growing economies in the West? When it comesto Britain’s future, who do you trust? Labour – the party of something-for-nothing, and human wrongsunder the banner of human rights …or the Conservatives – who believe in something for something,and reward for hard work? Who do you trust? …the party of big debt; big spending, big borrowing…or the party – our Party – of the first pay cheque, the first chance, the first home…the one that isdelivering more security, more opportunity, more hope …the one that is making this country greatagain…yes, our party, the Conservative Party.We’re making Britain proud again.
Look what we are showing the world. Not just a country that ispaying down its debts …and going from the deepest recession since the war to the fastest-growingmajor advanced economy in the world …but at the same time: a country that has kept its promises tothe poorest in the world …that is leading not following on climate change …and that’s just saved ourunion in one of the greatest shows of democracy the world has ever seen.We’re making Britain proud again. Our exports to China doubling …our car industry booming… our aerospace expanding…our manufacturing growing … we’re making Britain proud again.
Carengines – not imported from Germany, but built down the road in Wolverhampton. New oil rigs – notmade in China, but built on the Tyne. Record levels of employment …record numbers ofapprenticeships …Britain regaining its purpose, its pride and its confidence.479We’re at a moment where all the hard work is finally paying off…and the light is coming up aftersome long dark days. Go back now and we’ll lose all we’ve done…falling back into the shadows whenwe could be striding into the sun.
That’s the question next May. Do you want to go back to square one– or finish what we’ve begun?I don’t claim to be a perfect leader. But I am your public servant, standing here, wanting to make ourcountry so much better – for your children and mine. I love this country, and I will do my duty by it.We’ve got the track record, the right team…to take this plan for our country and turn it into a plan foryou.I think of the millions of people going out to work, wiping the ice off the windscreen on a winter’smorning …raising their children as well they can, working as hard as they can …doing it for a betterfuture, to make a good life for them and their families.
That is the British spirit – there in our ordinarydays as well as our finest hours. This is a great country and we can be greater still. Because history isnot written for us, but by us, in the decisions we make today … and that starts next May.So Britain: what’s it going to be? I say: let’s not go back to square one. Let’s finish what we havebegun. Let’s build a Britain we are proud to call home …for you, for your family, for everyone.Leader's speech, Manchester 2013David Cameron (Conservative)Location: ManchesterCameron, D.
Leader’s speech, Manchester 2013 [Электронный ресурс] / D. Cameron. – Режимдоступа: http://www.britishpoliticalspeech.org/speech-archive.htm?speech=354This week in Manchester we've shown this Party is on the side of hardworking people.Helping young people buy their own home.Getting the long-term unemployed back to work.Freezing fuel duty.Backing marriage.Cutting the deficit.Creating jobs.Creating wealth.Make no mistake: it is this Party with the verve, energy and ideas to take our country forward.And I want to thank everyone here for the great week we've had.When we came to office, we faced a clear and daunting task: to turn our country around.In May 2010, the needle on the gauge was at crisis point.People were talking about this country in a way they had not done for decades.But three and a half years later, we are beginning to turn the corner.The deficit is falling.Our economy is growing.The numbers of our fellow countrymen and women in work are rising.We are not there yet, not by a long way.But, my friends, we are on our way.I want to thank the people who have done the most to get us this far.You.
The British people.Never giving up. Working those extra hours. Coping with those necessary cuts.You. British business. You kept people on in the hard times. Invested before you knew for certain thatthings were getting better.Together - we are clearing up the mess that Labour left.But I have a simple question, to the people in this hall and beyond it.Is that enough?Is it enough that we just clear up Labour's mess and think 'job done'?Is it enough to just fix what went wrong?480I say - no.
Not for me.This isn't job done; it is job begun.I didn't come into politics just to fix what went wrong, but to build something right.We in this party - we don't dream of deficits and decimal points and dry fiscal plans.Our dreams are about helping people get on in life.Aspiration, opportunity: these are our words, our dreams.So today I want to talk about our one, abiding mission.I believe it is the great Conservative mission.That as our economy starts to recover, we build a land of opportunity in our country today.Now, I know, it'll be tough.But I know we've got what it takes in this Party.Some people say "can't be done" - Conservatives say "what's to stop us?" They said we couldn't getterrorists out of our own country. Well - Theresa knew otherwise...... and that's why Abu Qatada had his very own May Day this year...Didn't it feel good seeing him get on that plane?Some people said the NHS wasn't safe in our hands.Well - we knew otherwise.Who protected spending on the NHS? Not Labour - us.Who started the Cancer Drugs Fund? Not Labour - us.And by the way - who presided over Mid Staffs?Patients left for so long without water, they were drinking out of dirty vases......
people's grandparents lying filthy and unwashed for days.Who allowed that to happen? Yes, it was Labour...... and don't you dare lecture anyone on the NHS again.And some people say a lot of things on Europe.You'll never be able to veto an EU treaty.You'll never cut the Budget.And if you did these things - you'd have no allies in Europe.Well we've proved them wrong.I vetoed that treaty.I got Britain out of the EU bail-out scheme.And yes - I cut that budget.And in doing all this, we haven't lost respect - we've won allies to get powers back from Europe.That is what we will do......
and at the end of it - yes - we will give the British people their say in a referendum.That is our pledge. It will be your choice: in or out.BRITAIN IN THE WORLDAnd friends, you know what someone said about us recently?Apparently some Russian official said: Britain is "just a small island that no-one pays any attention to."Really?Let me just get this off my chest.When the world wanted rights, who wrote Magna Carta?When they wanted representation, who built the first Parliament?When they looked for compassion, who led the abolition of slavery?When they searched for equality, who gave women the vote?When their freedom was in peril, who offered blood, toil, tears and sweat?And today - whose music do they dance to?Whose universities do they flock to?Whose football league do they watch?481Whose example of tolerance of people living together from every nation, every religion, young andold, straight and gay?Whose example do they aspire to?I haven't even got on to the fact that this small island beat Russia in the Olympics last year, or that thebiggest-selling vodka brand in the world isn't Russian, it's British - Smirnoff - made in Fife....
so yes, we may be a small islandbut I tell you what, we're a great country.But I want to make a serious point about our place in the world.Following that vote on Syria in the House of Commons, some people said it was time for Britain to rethink our role.I'm sorry - but I don't agree.If we shrunk from the world we would be less safe and less prosperous.The role we play, the organisations we belong to ...... and yes - the fact our defence budget remains the 4th largest in the world ...... all this is not about national vanity - it's about our national interest.When British citizens -our fathers, mothers, daughters- are in danger ...... whether that's in the deserts of Algeria or the city of Nairobithen combatting international terrorism - it matters to us.When five of the world's fastest growing economies are African,then trading with Africa - and yes helping Africa to develop with aid - that matters to us.And at the heart of all this work - the finest Foreign Secretary I could ask for: William Hague.Around the world, we really do matter as a United Kingdom:England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.The date of the referendum has been set.
The decision is for Scotland to make.All the arguments about our economy, jobs, currency - I believe they make an unanswerable case forthe UK.But today I want a more simple message to go out to all the people of Scotland.From us here in this hall, from me, from this party, from this country, from England, Wales, NorthernIrelandand it's this:We want you to stay.We want to stick together.Think of all we've achieved together - the things we can do together.The nations - as one.Our Kingdom - United.For 12 years now, men and women from all parts of these islands have been serving their country inAfghanistan.Next year, the last of our combat troops will be coming home ...... having trained up the Afghans to look after their own country.More than a decade of war.Sacrifice beyond measure - from the finest and bravest armed forces in the world.And I want us to stand, to raise the roof in here, to show just how proud of those men and women weare.THATCHERWe in this room are a team.And this year, we said goodbye to one of our team.Margaret Thatcher made our country stand tall again, at home and abroad.Rescuing our economy.
