Sir Alan Duncan Melton & Rutland Parliamentary Conservative Candidate Hustings Opening Statement
The following is typed as accurately as I could be as I listened:
Sir Alan Duncan has an ambition to be around in Rutland for a little bit longer.
He also said he thinks this is one of the most important elections that any of
us have to make a decision about in our life time it is a choice about it is a choice
between stability and severe risk. Alan then said he thinks the coalition had between
his party and the Libdems had helped the country recover from a serious financial
mess a mess that could have been prevented as it was in Australia and Canada but
was not here. We are asking for permission from you the electorate to complete
the job. It is only if we have a stable economy and realistic about what we can
achieve, that we can pay for a health service and pay for education and to pay
for old age care, pay for defense. At the beginning of this parliament we were
raising 650 billion pounds in taxation and spending £750 billion no country
business or family can go on like that. We have to be realistic about what we
can do. with the nations money, to much of this election has been about
how we redistribute money rather than make it in the first place. With out a
good economy and growth we will have no public services, so what I am asking
for is a clear decision which can give financial and political stability.
Because if we have a mucky coalition where we run the danger of not being
able to form a government at all this country is going to go backwards we
will know doubt discuss this question but my main pitch is stability is
important trust the party that actually promises less because in the end
that is the one that is honest.
