A message from
Nigel:
“People
commonly ask me why I want to be an MP. Some people ask if it’s
the money or (jokingly I think) the chance of a Plasma TV on
expenses. I can say categorically it’s not the money that
motivates me. What motivates me, as I hope is the case for all
politicians, is the chance to try and make life better for
everyone, to try and help people.
For me this
means enabling and allowing people to achieve everything that
their talents and desires can. It means providing a health
service that is there when we need it most; an education system
that gives our children the opportunities they deserve; a police
force that keeps us safe.
The Labour
government has got our country’s finances into a huge mess.
They’ve forgotten that you have to pay for what you spend – and
wasted 10s of Billions.
We need a
Conservative government to take the difficult decisions, focus
spending on the priority services – not on unnecessary schemes
and bureaucracy – and get our finances back in shape.”
