Our Parliament – the British Parliament – decided they shouldn’t have that right. This is thecountry that wrote Magna Carta…the country that time and again has stood up for humanrights…whether liberating Europe from fascism or leading the charge today against sexualviolence in war. Let me put this very clearly: We do not require instruction on this fromjudges in Strasbourg. So at long last, with a Conservative Government after the next election,this country will have a new British Bill of Rights…to be passed in our Parliament…rooted in ourvalues…and as for Labour’s Human Rights Act? We will scrap it, once and for all.
So that’s what we offer: a Britain that everyone is proud to call home. And a very clear plan toget there. Over the next five years we will deliver the following things: 3 millionApprenticeships. Full employment. The most competitive corporate taxes in the G20.Eliminating the budget deficit through spending cuts, not tax rises. Building 100,000 newStarter Homes. Letting you pass on your pension tax-free. Ring-fencing NHS spending so not apenny is cut. Renegotiating in Europe. Delivering that in-out referendum. Scrapping the HumanRights Act. No income tax until you earn £12,500. No 40p tax rate until you earn £50,000.
If you want those things, vote for me. If you don’t, vote for the other guy. And let’s be clear.This is a straight fight. It doesn’t matter whether Parliament is hung, drawn or quartered, thereis only one real choice. The Conservatives or Labour. Me in Downing Street, or Ed Miliband inDowning Street. If you vote UKIP – that’s really a vote for Labour. Here’s a thought…on 7th Mayyou could go to bed with Nigel Farage, and wake up with Ed Miliband.
So this is the big question for that election. On the things that matter in your life, who do youreally trust? When it comes to your job…do you trust Labour – who wrecked our economy – orthe Conservatives, who have made this one of the fastest-growing economies in the West?When it comes to Britain’s future, who do you trust? Labour – the party of something-for-nothing, and human wrongs under the banner of human rights…or the Conservatives – whobelieve in something for something, and reward for hard work? Who do you trust?…the party ofbig debt; big spending, big borrowing…or the party – our Party – of the first pay cheque, thefirst chance, the first home…the one that is delivering more security, more opportunity, morehope …the one that is making this country great again…yes, our party, the Conservative Party.
We’re making Britain proud again. Look what we are showing the world. Not just a country thatis paying down its debts…and going from the deepest recession since the war to the fastest-growing major advanced economy in the world…but at the same time: a country that has keptits promises to the poorest in the world…that is leading not following on climate change…andthat’s just saved our union in one of the greatest shows of democracy the world has ever seen.
We’re making Britain proud again. Our exports to China doubling…our car industrybooming…our aerospace expanding…our manufacturing growing… we’re making Britain proudagain. Car engines – not imported from Germany, but built down the road in Wolverhampton.New oil rigs – not made in China, but built on the Tyne. Record levels of employment…recordnumbers of apprenticeships…Britain regaining its purpose, its pride and its confidence.
