General Election 2019

The vote to leave the EU was a vote for change. But nothing has changed since.

We are still arguing about Brexit because the 2017 Election created a Parliament where nobody was in

charge – creating gridlock, delay, and confusion.

And that has meant the real issues that make a difference to voters’ lives – being able to get an appointment

to see a GP, feeling safe when walking home, making ends meet at the end of the month – have all been

ignored.

This election is a choice between driving real change for our country or more of the same old politicians

arguing.

At this election voters must choose between the certainty that a majority government brings; or a hung

Parliament bringing more of the same confusion, indecision, and arguments we have put up with for the last

three years.

With a Conservative majority government you can be sure that on day one of a new Parliament we will start

the process to get Brexit done and we will leave with the great new deal that is already agreed by the end of

January – giving business and families the confidence to invest in our economy.

And when Brexit is done and dusted, we will unleash Britain’s potential – investing in infrastructure,

technology, and education as the engines that will turbocharge our economy and drive change – improving

local high streets and bus services, creating more GP appointments, investing money in schools, introducing

an Australian-style points-based immigration system, and putting more police on the streets.

In a hung Parliament the only thing you can be sure of is more of the same: more of the same confusion and

indecision that have plagued the last three years, more going round in circles, and more arguing over Brexit,

leaving Britain stuck in gridlock – with our economy suffocating from uncertainty and stuck in first gear.

Only the Conservatives can win a functioning majority government – we only need to win nine more seats

than in 2017 to unblock Parliament and get it working again.

A vote for anyone else will just create another hung Parliament:

• The Liberal Democrats won just 12 seats at the last election and would need to win another 314 to be in

power. And as they have ruled out going into coalition with the Conservatives, a Liberal Democrat vote

either means Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister or another gridlocked Parliament that doesn’t work.

• A vote for the Brexit Party risks letting a Remain-backing Liberal Democrat or Labour candidate win –

and that means one less seat for the Conservatives to get Brexit done – creating another gridlocked hung

Parliament that doesn’t work.

• The Labour Party can’t win a majority under Jeremy Corbyn but he could still become Prime Minister

with the help of the Liberal Democrats and Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP – meaning yet more confusion and

delay while they argue about what to do on Brexit – and economic disaster for Britain when Labour wreck

the economy, just like they always do. And the price of the SNP’s support – another independence

referendum in Scotland with yet more politicians arguing.

So on 12 December, reject more of the same confusion, delay and indecision we are all sick of.

Back Boris and vote Conservative to get a majority government that will Get Brexit Done with a deal,

and get Parliament working again, and turbocharge our economy to unleash Britain’s potential.
