When the General Election is called the electorate will be faced with a real choice - they will either decide to return the Labour government or elect a new Conservative one. Since 1997 huge damage has been done to our country - this decline must be reversed. It is absolutely clear that Labour have no idea at all how to turn the situation around - it is only the Conservative Party who can transform the nation’s circumstances.
