Sometimes it is good to remind ourselves of what we stand for. It is easy, sometimes, to get so caught up in day to day activities that values are lost or at least overlooked.

Conservatives believe in strong, radical principles – freedom, aspiration, opportunity.

We want to encourage wealth creation and job opportunities, wider home ownership, higher educational standards, lower taxation and less bureaucracy.

Conservatives believe in celebrating success, supporting winners, backing champions. We believe in a one nation, a place where everyone can succeed.

We want the poorest child, to make good, to become successful and to be a role model for others.

We believe that the damp blanket of socialism snuffs out opportunity.
