I listened and watched the Scottish Labour Party Election broadcast on television tonight, not the comic one designed for 2 year olds, but the one that attacks Margaret Thatcher, I looked for a copy on the Labour website but it seems to  have disappeared into a black hole. It ran for 2-3 minutes and never once mentioned anything Labour would do, all it did was lie about the ’80s.  There was no future in it, no forward plans, nothing but scaremongering and attempts to suggest that Tories eat babies.

Contrast that with the video from David Cameron below and these words.

A country is at its best when the bonds between people are strong and when the sense of national purpose is clear. Today the challenges facing Britain are immense. Our economy is overwhelmed by debt, our social fabric is frayed and our political system has betrayed the people. But these problems can be overcome if we pull together and work together. If we remember that we are all in this together.

Some politicians say: ‘give us your vote and we will sort out all your problems’. We say: real change comes not from government alone. Real change comes when the people are inspired and mobilised, when millions of us are fired up to play a part in the nation’s future.

Yes this is ambitious. Yes it is optimistic. But in the end all the Acts of Parliament, all the new measures, all the new policy initiatives, are just politicians’ words without you and your involvement.

How will we deal with the debt crisis unless we understand that we are all in this together? How will we raise responsible children unless every adult plays their part? How will we revitalise communities unless people stop asking ‘who will fix this?’ and start asking ‘what can I do?’ Britain will change for the better when we all elect to take part, to take responsibility – if we all come together. Collective strength will overpower our problems.

Only together can we can get rid of this government and, eventually, its debt. Only
Together can we get the economy moving. Only together can we protect the NHS. Improve our schools. Mend our broken society. Together we can even make politics and politicians work better. And if we can do that, we can do anything. Yes, together we can do anything.

So my invitation today is this: join us, to form a new kind of government for Britain.

When Labour came into power in 1997, millions of people had high hopes that Britain would become a stronger, fairer society. Of course, Labour did have some good intentions – but, in the end, they just didn’t deliver.

But that doesn’t mean those hopes have to die. They’re now alive with us in the modern Conservative Party – as David Cameron explains in the video below:

As Cameron says

Many, many people are joining us to help make the changes we need in this country. We’re winning the argument on the economy and on building a fairer society.
So, thirteen years on, I’m asking you to go into this election with an open mind. I’m asking you to think about voting for us – even if you’ve never voted Tory before.

Time for a Change

The Tories and the SNP have a reasonable relationship now in Scotland and with the Referendum having to be shelved fore the moment the Tories  have a chance to build on this relationship as they move into Government.

David Cameron has been addressing the Tory Conference in Perth and has promised.

“That will signal the beginning of a new relationship, a fresh start, based on mutual respect,” he will say, adding: “It will be good for Scotland, good for Britain and good for the Union.”

Mr Cameron will also say he takes seriously the recommendations of the Calman Commission – which called for more powers for the Scottish Parliament – and wants to make devolution stronger.

“Not just because it is a weapon against the Nationalists’ obsession with independence – but because devolution should be central to our whole political approach,” he will say.

“Today we are the party that passionately believes that local is best, the party that knows that the more power people have, the more responsible they become, the more fulfilled they are – we are the party of decentralisation.”

Please, this is the way to go in Scotland.
