What do the Tories want, in a nutshell?
442759
Obviously, the Tories want to run the country! Right now there isn't much between the two main parties - they tend to criticise the other without actually saying much. I guess the last Conservative leader who actually had a specific ideology was Margaret Thatcher. But she was loved and hated equally.\n\nThere's a bit of a difference between what Americans would term conservatism and what the British would say. Convervatives here are more subtle - you wouldn't find them outlawing abortion or the teaching of Darwinism in schools, for instance. It's more about letting the economy do it's own thing as opposed to Labour who are more socialist.\n\nDavid "just call me Dave" Cameron seems to be alright. He makes a big thing of playing down his public-school middle class image (here the term public school means private, not state funded, don't ask!) which others tend to rib him about. The lastest Green drive seems to be a publicity thing. Only a couple of weeks ago Labour launched a campaign calling him a chameleon for changing policies so often - claiming that he's gone from 'blue' ie tory to green, red - labour and yellow - liberal democrat in copying their policies.

10 things I would change if i was prime minister:\n\n1) Pensions - You get out what you pay in.  Basically if you have been working and paying taxes all your life you would be entitled to a much higher state pension that those who have been claiming benefits all their life.\n\n2) Immigration - If immigrants want to work they are welcome.  If they just want to sit on their fat arses and sponge then they can go back to where they came from and them claiming that they are in danger of being killed will not be accepted as an excuse to stay in the country.  It is totally their choice which one they want.\n\n3) Benefits - All benefit rates are to be lowered with the exception of jobseekers allowance which will encourage more people to work.\n\n4) Benefit Cheats - All people found to be commiting benefit fraud of any kind will have to pay all the money back plus interest from when they started getting them.  Anybody providing information leading to someone being caught will be awarded a cash reward equivilent to what the person would have got in a year.\n\n5) Council Tax - Council tax will be replaced by income tax to make the system much fairer.\n\n6) Students - Families on a lower income should not have to pay tution fees.  Only students with a net family income of over £50,000 a year have to pay tution fees.  Also write off all current student debts. \n\n7) Smoking Ban - Bring forward the smoking ban as it will save the most lives since the introduction of seat belts in cars.\n\n8)  Burgalars - Burgalars lose all their human rights protection the second they break into someones home and residents may use any means necessary to protect their homes.\n\n9) Criminals - A lot more jails to be built and all convicted criminals must serve their full sentance in jail with no exceptions basically life means life.\n\n10) NHS - More hospitals built and a large increase in taxpayers money going to the NHS to shorten waiting lists.

Continually look for the best company to provide your goods or service.  We are in this state because people just accept it.  If everybody shopped around for the best deal then businesses who remained complacent would go out of business.  By having to compete in the market place their prices would fall.  \n\nAs for the government and their stealth taxes, we all have to vote to get rid of Labour and keep the Tories out.  I doubt the Lib Dems will be any better but at least the big two will get the message that we are sick of being ripped off by their policies which are pro big business.

He has, quietly so no-one will notice. We have privatisation of the NHS, tax cuts for the rich (he's only committed to not doing tax cuts 'straight away', which is pretty much meaningless) and euro-scepticism. Same old Tories. He's put the words 'We're nice, now' in front of it', and tragically that's all people seem to hear.

I would do it because I could ban religion, Make all these workshy people do something to help in the community, give hard working families a break for once, have fun taunting the tories at prime-ministers-questions, laugh at the BNP/SNP/Plaid cymru. in short I could put the world to rights or at least have some fun trying.

Cameron. Because he's like a tory version of Tony Blair.

The problem with this suggestion is that they'd be likely to be funded at the current levels of expenditure - around £30 million each for a general election - and that's just indulging their whims, allowing them to put up smug billboards and make PPBs directed by Ridley Scott or whoever.\n\nWhy do they NEED funding? They get free access to the broadcast media, and all the newspapers carry their opinions - do they actually need to advertise? Do they have to fly from one end of the country to the other every day of a campaign to tell us about their environmental policies? Do their wives need a £3000 haircut before they can go out and tell us about the plight of the homeless?\n\nWe already spend around £4 million per year of taxpayers' money, for instance, policing the conferences of each of the two main parties. I'd be quite happy for the taxpayer to fund a reasonable team of researchers and admin staff - maybe a million pound's worth - but overall party spending should be limited to the same amount (per constituency fought) as is allowed to an independent: about £7,000 per constituency plus 5p per voter, or a bit under £6 million for a major national party. Then they wouldn't have to court big donors and compromise their principles.

I'd like to see the day when every single law has to go through the public's scrutinization before being allowed to pass. \nI'd love to be able to determine whether or not to give myself a 23% raise every year! \nI would like to be able to vote on how and what our tax money is spent on.\n I also would like to have politicians buy their own cars with their own salaries. \nIt would be great but I'm not holding my breath on it!!
