The template-type of response of 1 May by David Cameron's assistant is disappointing, not an answer at all to my questions. Anyway here it is.
"I am writing on
behalf of David Cameron to thank you very much for contacting us during this
important election campaign. David appreciates all the feedback he receives, so
it is good of you to have taken the time and trouble to get in touch and to let
us have your thoughts.
In a few days time,
you’ll get to choose a new government. And as we enter the final week of this
election campaign, one thing is certain: people are clearly desperate for
change – change only David Cameron and the Conservatives can guarantee. A vote
for Labour or the Lib Dems could leave us stuck with Gordon Brown as Prime
Minister, and the uncertainty of a hung Parliament which could kill the
recovery. So this weekend David has published a contract, between you and us,
to set out certain specific things we are committed to do.
We began this election
campaign by inviting everyone to join the government of Britain – we’re all in
this together, and we’ve got to stop pretending that government is the answer
to every problem. So in this campaign we’ve talked about the new part we hope
people will play in making the country better, in building the Big Society.
Now, at the end of the
campaign, we are setting out our side of the bargain – what we will do if we
win the election. We are publishing a contract with the voters, which commits
us to do certain specific things in exchange for your vote. And we are saying
clearly in this contract, if we don’t do those things, if we don’t deliver our
side of the bargain, vote us out in five years time.
The contract outlines
clear commitments: to change our political system to make it more
accountable, open and local; change the economy to get it moving; and help build a Big
Society, where everyone plays a part in helping to mend our broken society. I hope you will feel
able to read it and – if we win the election – use it to hold us to account.
We all know that
with Labour in charge our country is heading in completely the wrong direction.
That is why there is a clear choice at this election between five more years of
Gordon Brown’s tired government making things worse, or David Cameron and the
Conservatives, with the energy, leadership and values to get the country
moving.
I do hope you’ll
join us on Thursday. The more people join, the stronger the force for change
will be. And together, we can make this the year for change, to give our
communities – and our country – great hope for the future.
Yours sincerely,
James
Office of David
Cameron"
