Economic Plans Clearly the uncertainty of
a hung Parliament could kill off the
recovery and
Scotland ’s
economy is still very fragile. A vote for anyone but the Conservatives at
this British General Election will ONLY serve to deliver 5 MORE YEARS of
LABOUR. The Liberal Democrats do not offer credible change –
they’ve already governed in
Scotland
and now they are the 4th
party in Holyrood. Don’t give the choice of who leads and runs
Britain up to the
politicians. Use your right to make your own choice. Every vote
cast counts. If you think
it’s time for real change, the only way to vote is Conservative.
This British General Election is the most important we’ve faced in a generation.
Only David Cameron
and the Conservatives have the
energy, leadership and values to get
the economy working for everyone. We need to
reward hard
work, get Britain
making things again, deliver value for money in government and sort out the banks.
We want the banks to work for the people, instead of the people bailing out the banks. And we need to
learn the lessons from the financial crisis. Within weeks of the election, a
Conservative government will launch the most radical overhaul for a generation
in the way that banks are regulated and policed, in order to support the economy and protect consumers. We will:
·
get credit
flowing to businesses with large scale government guarantees, building on our
proposals for a National Loan Guarantee Scheme;
·
sweep away
Gordon Brown’s failed system
of regulation an d put the Bank of
England back in charge of
controlling the overall level of debt in the economy;
·
introduce a
new levy on the banks;
·
push for
international agreement to separate the riskiest investment banking activities
like large scale proprietary trading from ordinary retail banking;
·
create a
tough new Economic Crime Agency to crack down on white collar crime and serious economic crime;
·
promote
responsible consumer finance with a powerful new Consumer Protection Agency
taking over from the Financial Services Authority and
the Office of Fair Trading; and,
·
set up a free
financial advice service and a free
annual financial health check, to help families get their finances on track.
Gordon Brown and the
Lib Dems want to stick with the same failed system
that got us into this mess. Only a Conservative government will change the
system to support the economy and protect
consumers.
