The changes you can get with a new Conservative Government Our recent recruitment campaign, which included a video by Hollywood director Matthew Vaughn, was based around 10 changes you can get with a new Conservative Government. The Bad News Budget Alistair Darling's bad news Budget kicks Britain's families when they are down - the cost of living is already rising fast and the government has added to it. Labour's Giving Criminals a Break Labour are releasing thousands of prisoners early through their End of Custody Licence scheme. We would scrap this disastrous practice and introduce honesty in sentencing. NH Yes David Cameron's Conservatives are backing a new, national campaign to express our support for the staff of our NHS and the patients they serve. ID Cards: Labour's Bad IDea A Conservative Government will scrap the ID cards scheme, and use some of the savings to build more prison places, provide more drug rehab in prisons and create a new border police force. Keep our Post Offices open First Labour cut the NHS. Now they’re cutting the Post Office. Support the Conservative action plan to Keep our Post Offices open. Equal Pay Being a woman is expensive. In fact, it costs £300,000 to be female – that's how much the average woman loses or foregoes over her lifetime thanks to the gender pay gap. Ofspin Ofspin is the Conservative Party's Government Delivery Watchdog, which monitors Ministers' promises and checks up on their delivery. Follow the Money Conservatives believe that transparency in Government spending will allow greater public scrutiny and will achieve better value for taxpayers’ money.
