Time for the Conservative Party to challenge
Equality and champion the Classless Society
Chief to the Conservative Party’s Recovery will be its
return to representing a vision and not an issue Party, argues Matthew
Page, Chairman Consults
Consult Chairman Matthew Page has
written an article outlining where the Conservative Party needs to go in
order for them to return to government.
Matthew has argued that the Party needs to return to being a Vision
Party rather than merely representing issues, and that it needs to reach
far and wide whilst also remaining practical and credible in being able
to explain where it wants to go and how it will get there.
In being bold and radical, the three main challenges that need to be
tackled include challenging equality where the poorest people in inner
city communities and society are left at the bottom without the
opportunities to break free and get to the top. Secondly, we need to
champion that the best values of compassion, enterprise and wanting to
better ourselves all come from within us and not from autocratic
governments.
Lastly, the Party needs to demonstrate how it will give the most radical
opportunities to those at the bottom of society to break free and enjoy
real equality of opportunity. This includes allowing children in the
poorest communities to have the best quality of education and families
to enjoy good access to efficient healthcare.
The above is all part of creating the classless society where everyone
is judged on what they do and not their class, background or social
upbringing. This agenda will reflect a compassionate, outward looking
Conservative party which not only reflects the ambitious thinking of
21st Century Britain, but also being a party for all with a positive
message for everyone. December
