Also the party may have changed however the person doing the boasting about how he can pay a trainee 87p an hour in 1995 is now a Conservative MP.

I appreciate that it will take much convincing to make people believe that and clearly you're one of those skeptics (and I think that skepticism is healthy in an electorate). However, the party is committed to the minimum wage. If you'd like to find out more about how we will be supporting businesses as they create jobs and start to get our economy back on its feet, look on the Conservative policies pages of this website.

I would also point out that one of the Conservative MP's who backed this mostion Peter Bone,now Conservative MP for Northampton, actually boasted at the Conservative Conference in 1995 that he could pay people 87p an hour. Are they part of the Conservative Party that is commited to social justice?

There is no denying that. However, having met many of them, I know that they have the empathy and the commitment to social justive to make an incredible team that will benefit EVERYONE in the country. I believe we need to get over our obsession with class in this country. If you're right for the job you should get it. David Cameron is the right man to be Prime Minister, Gordon Brown has demonstrated that he is not. Thanks again for mentioning Sure Start. I will repeat my earlier comments, it will NOT be scrapped under a Conservative government. We support it and want to improve it. Suggestions that we will scrap it are deliberately spread lies designed to scare people into continuing to vote Labour. <a href="http://www.conservatives.com/News/News_stories/2009/02/Miller_calls_for_improvements_to_Sure_Start.aspx" rel="nofollow">Click here</a> on this link to read more about our policy on Sure Start.

As stated before the immediate axeing of Sure Start by people who would never used such a scheme is a hint of their intentions. I would also point out that like Mr Cameron the vast majority of the millionaires in what would be the Conservative cabinet are not self made but have inherited their wealth.....maybe that is why they have invested so much time in formulating a policy for a reduction in the inheritence tax. Again, how does this help your party when people still don't believe you have changed and you are still the party of the few not the many.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the Lib Dems became the main opposition party. This is no cause for complacency though. As an aside, I thought Tony Blair nominatig Gordon Brown as his successor was a stroke of genius. Now Brown, not Blair will be remembered as the worst Prime Minister in British history.
