There is now a £10bn a year compensation
culture here in the UK. Schools are cutting back on excursions,
councils are filling in ponds and even our police are having
to change their approach to doing their job all because of threat
of legal action brought about by the EU's Human Rights Act.
Conservatives will 'change the culture' of Government in order
to turn back the tide of political correctness.
Conservative
measures include:
|
1
|
A
review of the Human Rights Act which is being roundly
abused.
|
|
2
|
A
consultation on how the Children Act is working in
practice to restore the balance of power between parents
and bureaucrats. |
|
3
|
A
freeze on civil service recruitment meaning that there will
be 'fewer bureaucrats to push out regulations. |
|
4
|
The
implementation of 'sunset clauses' for many regulations
to ensure that only those 'that are clearly necessary will
survive. |
|
5
|
Measures to protect teachers and return to them control
of the classroom. |
Conservatives
support doctors, teachers, nurses, policemen and the ordinary
man and woman on the street. We will say to them, we agree with
you. Enough is enough. You should be free to lead your lives
as you see fit. We will only intervene when the need to do so
is clear and necessary.
We
will end the culture of regulation, interference and centralization
which is destroying our sense of community. Once again, government
will serve the people. It will no longer be its master'.
Conservatives
believe in less -
not
more regulation
