About Me

"I am a liberal Conservative.

Liberal, because I believe in the freedom of individuals to pursue their own happiness, with the minimum of interference from government.

Sceptical of the state, trusting people to make the most of their lives, confident about the possibilities of the future - this is liberalism.

And Conservative, because I believe that we're all in this together - that there is a historical understanding between past, present and future generations, and that we have a social responsibility to play an active part in the community we live in.

Conservatives believe in continuity and belonging; we believe in the traditions of our country which are embedded in our institutions.

Liberal and Conservative.

Individual freedom and social responsibility."

David Cameron, Thursday March 22nd, 2007.

I'd like to meet:

This is not an official Conservative Party website, nor does it necessarily reflect therein the views of the Conservative Party.

- We want small government, but we also want a good NHS.
- We want fairer taxes, but we understand we need revenue for institutions such as the NHS and (by the looks of things at the mo) the army.
- We want society to rediscover a backbone; that means the family, and supporting marriage through tax breaks.
- We want human rights, but not when it protects the criminal over the victim.
- We understand that perfect doesn't necessarily mean good.
- We are strongly opposed to the surveillance state and the culture of fear instigated by an underhand Labour government.

As someone once said: "If this is Conservatism, I am a Conservative."
