 | Chairman's View of Party Conference |
 |
I thought that this year’s Party Conference in Birmingham was a great success and the main points to strike me were:-
¶David Cameron is clearly a strong Leader.
·There has been a policy decision to present the Conservatives as an alternative government and therefore to set out their potential policies. If Labour want to pinch them it will be perfectly clear that they have done so.
¸The financial turmoil we are in was a clear distraction from the Conference so far as the outside world was concerned but David Cameron and George Osborne dealt with it professionally and with dignity, both making excellent speeches.
¹There have been great efforts to make the Conservatives more compassionate and to examine in depth the problems in what they call A Broken Society. The work is admirable but there is some danger of over egging the Broken Society epithet.
ºThe selection of young Prospective Parliamentary Candidates who spoke was of a high standard, including some first class women with whom any comparison with Blair’s Babes would be invidious.
The plans and proposals at 2 above are set out in detail in pamphlets including “Reconstruction - Plan for a strong economy” and “Renewal - Plan for a better NHS” copies of which and Executive Summaries can be obtained from Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ).
