Since Mark's
selection in July 2007 he has been working for local people on numerous
local issues. These include leading the fight to stop the closure of
Trafford General's maternity unit, lobbying Labour MPs to not vote for
Post Office closures, campaigning for a fairer grant from this Government
to Trafford Council, campaigning against over-development and central
Government interference, and fighting Labour's introduction of congestion
charging.
If you
elect Mark as your MP he will fight for the interests of local people.
Voting Conservative will also:
~
Stop hospital closures
~ Give
back teachers control of their classrooms
~ See teenagers
in a national citizen service
~ Increase
prison places and stop Labour's early release scheme
~ Put an
annual limit on immigration and improve racial integration
~ Cut Inheritance
Tax and cut Stamp Duty
THE DIFFERENCE
On Immigration
Britain has benefited immeasurably from immigration. But we do have
to recognise the pressures that are placed on public services if immigration
is unlimited. We'll bring in a proper border police force and we'll
scrap ID cards.
On the
NHS
We'll scrap top-down targets and trust the professionals in the NHS,
replacing targets with measurable outcomes. We've got to make the NHS
and doctors answerable to the patients, not the politicians.
On the
Police
We'll make police responsible to localy elected Mayors rather than the
Home Office.
On Family
Britain has the worst rate of family breakdown in Europe. Two million
people live apart because the benefit system pays out more than if they
were living together. One in four children are brought up with an absent
father and children from broken homes have a 70 per cent greater chance
of failure at school. We will remove the bias
in the tax system against two-parent families where only one adult works.
No other European country penalises families in this way. That is why
we have pledged to re-introduce a recognition of marriage into the tax
system and to raise tax credits for two-parents families.
On Unemployment
Our policy is simple. If you are offered a job and it is a fair job
that you can do and you refuse it, you shouldn't receive welfare. There
are over one million young people not in work, training or education,
much higher than ten years ago.
On Pensions
We'll set-up a liefboat fund to help the victims of Gordon Brown's pensions
crisis. There are 125,000 people in Britain who have little or nothing
from their pensions and have no income.
On Schools
- Schools should use tried and tested methods, not experimental teaching.
Schools should introduce proper discipline.
- We'll give headteachers complete command of their schools. If a headteacher
wants to exclude a pupil because their behaviour is wrecking the education
of others, they should be able to do so. The appeals panels have got
to go.
- We'll allow churches, voluntary organisations and private companies
to set up state schools.
On the
EU Treaty
It is one of the most blatant breaches of trust in modern politics.
Labour's 2005 manifesto promised a referendum on the treaty, 95% of
which still exists in the revised document.
On the
Environment
Climate change is a clear and present danger to this county. How will
we be able to convince China to act unless we act here at home. We are
the party of sensible green leadership."
There is a clear difference between voting Labour or Conservative...
and only voting Conservative will defeat Labour here.
Vote
for change... vote for Mark Versallion.
