Why should I join?
This Labour Government has failed to deliver on its promises
There is no
more time for excuses. The Conservative Party is best placed to hold this
Government to account for its serial failures and keep them to their
commitments. Conservatives offer strong and principled opposition to this
Government and campaign vigorously on the issues that really matter to
people.
We are close
to completing the most far reaching policy review in years, having listened
to the public, subject experts and voluntary groups. This will mean the
policies we soon put forward will be relevant to our nation in the 21st
Century having been shaped by those who matter most - the people of Britain.
Conservatives care passionately about the issues which matter
most
In the
Wellingborough constituency, local Conservatives are in touch with people's
views and concerns. Through our 'Listening to Wellingborough & Rushden'
campaign, we are able to focus on the important issues affecting people locally,
particularly through our campaign for a new hospital. Conservatives are
committed to providing effective public services for the people within
Wellingborough constituency. We will endeavour to deliver on the issues
that matter most to you. Through your support as a member, you will help us
to achieve our objectives.
