Conservative Party 13/05/2014 Party Election Broadcasts for the English Local Elections

Our long-term economic plan is making Britain's economy stronger

and more competitive -

the deficit cut by over a third, a record number of people in work

and we're predicted to be

the fastest-growing major European economy this year.

Locally, Conservative councils are providing high-quality services

and keeping your council tax bill low -

on average, £89 a year lower than Labour-controlled councils

and £106 lower than Liberal Democrat-controlled councils.

And we're backing local businesses with better infrastructure

and lower jobs taxes, so they can create more jobs.

We're working through our long-term economic plan at home

and will work through our plan to deliver real change in Europe too.

David Cameron, backed by a strong team of Conservative MEPs,

has taken action to stand up for Britain,

vetoing a new EU fiscal treaty

that didn't guarantee a level playing field for British businesses...

It's sometimes the right thing to say, "I'm afraid I cannot do that.

"It's not in our national interest,

"and so I'm going to say no and I'm going to exercise the veto."

..taking Britain out of the Eurozone bailouts...

Let me be clear once again,

Britain will not invest in a eurozone bailout fund.

That is not going to happen.

..and cutting the EU budget for the first time in its history,

saving British taxpayers over £8 billion.

It isn't a time for tinkering,

it isn't a time for moving money from one part of the budget to another.

You know, we need unaffordable spending cut.

That's what's happening at home, that's what needs to happen here.

But we need to go further - if you want real change in Europe,

you need to vote for a strong team of Conservative MEPs

to fight our corner and bring powers back to Britain.

I believe

that you have the right to have your say on Europe,

so when we have finished renegotiating Britain's relationship

with the European Union, we will give you

the final decision with an in-out referendum by the end of 2017.

Labour and the Lib Dems oppose our plan.

They won't stand up for Britain and they refuse to give you a say

and UKIP, they simply can't deliver on anything they promise.

Only the Conservatives will stand up for Britain

and let you have your say.

Only by voting Conservative on May 22nd

can you get real change in Europe.
