Parliamentary candidate for York Central
Dear People of York,
As your Parliamentary Spokesman, over the next few months I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can, wherever you are in York and wherever your political loyalties may lie.
I have been selected to fight the brand new seat of York Central for the Conservatives at the next General Election and I am delighted and proud to have the opportunity to stand as the next Member of Parliament for such an historic and beautiful city.
Britain is in dire need of a change of direction. Soon. Most people recognise that now. I believe David Cameron is the man to deliver that change, because his new brand of compassionate Conservatism respects the way that people really want to live their lives.
We want to decide how our own money is spent; we want to look after our families and leave something to our children without excessive interference. Supporting the family – and that means every kind of family – will be right at the heart of Conservative policies.
We want to see an end to violent crime and anti-social behaviour. We want decent schools with discipline and high standards for our children and an NHS we can trust again. We want privacy and respect in maternity and old age.
These are very exciting times to be a Conservative: the Party is growing daily and we are gathering support nationwide – in the London Mayoral race, in the extraordinary wave of local election results and in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election landslide when we won over 15,000 voters from Labour in a safe Labour seat.
While waiting for the election I plan to listen very carefully to what you have to say and to give you my support whenever and wherever I can.
Please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

PROSPECTIVE PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATE FOR YORK CENTRAL
The case for voting Conservative
This Prime Minister has wrecked private occupational pensions, spread welfare dependency and attempted to dismantle our national identity through multi-culturalism, mass immigration and Euro-federalism. He has run up debts that will take generations to clear and created a prohibitively expensive public sector. Whatever anaemic proposals make it into the party manifestos, this newspaper has no doubt that Cameron would be a hundred times better in office than Brown. Labour’s DNA is based around expanding the state, downgrading personal responsibility, destroying nationhood and rewarding victimhood. The Conservative DNA embraces lower taxes, a smaller state, sound money, strong law and order, family values and a proper defence of the realm.
