With four days to go the Prime Minister has written for the Sunday Telegraph and the Sunday Express reminding people of the choice they face in Thursday's election. The choice is between a working Conservative majority government that will get Brexit done, end the uncertainty and allow Britain to move on. Or another broken hung Parliament that will mean more of the same arguing, uncertainty, and delay that has left this country in neutral.
If there is a Conservative majority on Friday 13th, we will go forward and get Brexit done on 31 January. Next year will be a year of investment and growth. It will be the year that we put a broken Parliament and its arguments over Brexit behind us. We will get Parliament working on the people’s priorities -- urgent investment in the NHS, urgent action on the cost of living, and urgent action on violent crime.
But if we don’t win, then on Friday 13th the Corbyn-Sturgeon nightmare alliance will become a reality. Jeremy Corbyn would be Prime Minister, propped up by Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP, the Liberal Democrats, and other minor parties. It is closer than many people think - if the SNP and Liberal Democrats win just six more seats each, Jeremy Corbyn will become Prime Minister.
With four days to go, these are key points to remember on the doorstep:
This election is happening because a gridlocked and broken Parliament refused to respect the referendum result – or let the government govern.
The choice is between a majority government that can act or another paralysed hung Parliament that cannot.
A Conservative majority government will:
- Get Brexit done
- Ensure there are 50,000 more nurses and put record investment in the NHS
- Recruit 20,000 more police and tougher sentences
- Invest in education, technology, and infrastructure to drive opportunity and prosperity
- Keep economy strong and debt low
- Take back control of immigration with an Australian-style points system
A hung Parliament stuck in neutral with more of the same indecision and uncertainty we have had for the last three years:
- Corbyn as PM propped up by Nicola Sturgeon
- Two more chaotic referendums on Brexit and Scotland
- A reckless economic policy that takes us back to square one – with higher debt and taxes you will pay for
Every vote counts, and the Conservatives only need 9 more seats to win a majority government that will:
- Stop the chaos
- End the uncertainty
- Get Brexit done
- Unleash Britain’s potential
