David Cameron: We'll woo voters with our positive vibes
Tory leader David Cameron called for a “great national coming together” to solve the country’s problems today as the parties prepared to unveil their general election manifestos.
He said the Conservative pitch – to be unveiled tomorrow a day after Labour’s and centred on the theme of “we’re all in this together” – would contain a raft of “very positive agenda-setting ideas” to woo voters.
On top of high-profile pledges to halt Labour’s National Insurance hike and a tax break for married couples will be, officials said, better access to GPs and a crackdown on state “snooping”. The party also sought to improve relations with the gay community by promising to tackle homophobic bullying and consider same-sex marriage rights after a meeting with angry gay rights campaigners.
Mr Cameron accused Labour of employing purely negative tactics ahead of the May 6 poll.
In his foreword to what he said was “the most family-friendly manifesto this country has ever seen”, Mr Cameron will say it is for “everyone in Britain, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances”.
