We’re at a moment where all the hard work is finally paying off…and the light is coming up aftersome long dark days. Go back now and we’ll lose all we’ve done…falling back into the shadowswhen we could be striding into the sun. That’s the question next May. Do you want to go backto square one – or finish what we’ve begun?
I don’t claim to be a perfect leader. But I am your public servant, standing here, wanting tomake our country so much better – for your children and mine. I love this country, and I will domy duty by it. We’ve got the track record, the right team…to take this plan for our country andturn it into a plan for you.
I think of the millions of people going out to work, wiping the ice off the windscreen on awinter’s morning…raising their children as well they can, working as hard as they can…doing itfor a better future, to make a good life for them and their families. That is the British spirit –there in our ordinary days as well as our finest hours. This is a great country and we can begreater still. Because history is not written for us, but by us, in the decisions we make today…and that starts next May.
So Britain: what’s it going to be? I say: let’s not go back to square one. Let’s finish what wehave begun. Let’s build a Britain we are proud to call home…for you, for your family, foreveryone.
