Conservatives

The next Cameron Direct event will take place on Monday 23rd November 2009 at 6.30pm - and we will broadcast it live on this website.

I'd like to thank the Overseas Development Institute for their kind invitation to speak here today. In recent years the world has become less stable and more dangerous.

This week’s Queen’s Speech had little to do with governing the nation and everything to do with setting out dividing lines for the election, so I took the opportunity to set out a problem that I very much hope the next Government will resolve.

I must be amongst some of the saddest activists because I love canvassing! – but the response since our conference has made it even more pleasurable – our returns have been remarkable.

David Cameron gives his response to the Queen's Speech, which showed a Government failing to get to grips with the biggest problems our economy, politics and society have faced for a generation.

One of the main beliefs of the Conservative Party is that power should be pushed down to the lowest level; in the so-called ‘direct democracy’. I am a big believer of this and have tried to use my Chairmanship of Conservative Future to achieve this wherever possible.

Our new Party Political Broadcast contains details of a significant new policy that will help local residents protect community assets from closure.

Our country’s economy, politics and society are faced with the most difficult problems for a generation. Yesterday’s Queen’s Speech was our Government’s last opportunity to get to grips with them.

Every week, David sends out an email to supporters to givehis take on what's going on in Westminster, and a preview of what's coming up.
