People are better off with the Conservatives
With Conservatives in office, people are far better off than they would have been if the Opposition had its way.
Unlike Ed Miliband and Ed Balls who pluck figures out of thin air, we will now can substantiate our claims with the evidence.
From this April, the tax free allowance increases to £10,000 which means that most workers will keep £700 more in their wages than 2010.
The average driver filling up a car is £360 per year better off because we have frozen fuel duty since 2011 compared to where Ed Miliband’s party had intended it to be now.
Many local councils have frozen council tax to fulfil David Cameron’s pledge, including Conservative-run Suffolk County Council’s pledge to 2017, which is an annual saving to tax payers of £210. Sadly however Labour’s Ipswich Borough Councillors voted to increase ours and if you are a council tenant, Ipswich Labour councillors have put up your average rents by £600 per year.
The Government has acted on energy bills and reduced typical bills by £50.
These 3 measures alone (there are many more!) mean most working people have £1320 in their pocket but Labour don’t want you to know this. It has been demonstrated that take home pay exceeded inflation (CPI) in the year to last April, despite what the Opposition have been trying to claim.
By introducing disciplined budgetary control in public spending & bringing down our deficit, our economy is one of the fastest growing economies in the western world- financial markets trust the UK and businesses are investing here and employing more people. As a result, 1.3 million more are now in work and earning for themselves rather than relying on state welfare. This will increase further with the employers’ national insurance reduction this April and further reducing corporation tax.
Labour’s plan is to destroy jobs and the wreck the economy again by interfering in private businesses (small and large) which in turn forces investors to move abroad.
Their plans to increase taxes on businesses and individuals are economic vandalism. Miliband and Balls do not understand that if you let businesses and individuals keep more of their own money, then they spend it in the real economy, snowballing growth and reducing unemployment further & reducing the welfare bill. It is better that your hard-earned money goes into the private sector economy rather into increasing taxation just for the sake of it. Just look at France- President Hollande’s socialist experiment in that country has been a dismal failure. This country cannot afford to make the same mistake. Thankfully with David Cameron and George Osborne at the tiller of UK plc, business confidence is at a 20 year high.
