Today is polling day and polling stations are open. Today, the British people can use their vote to break the gridlock and allow the country to move on. When you’re talking to voters today, it’s vital we remind them why we are having this election (and to do so right up until the close of polls at 10 PM this evening):
- MPs had the chance to vote our new Brexit deal through parliament and honour the promises they made to deliver Brexit. But instead they ignored the will of 17.4 million people and voted for more dither and delay.
- The last Parliament was so obsessed with arguing about Brexit, they were even arguing about arguing. They were not focusing on what you, the people, want.
So, enough is enough. This election is our chance to end the gridlock. But the result is on a knife-edge. And the choice could not be more stark. By tomorrow:
- We could have another hung parliament with more of the same – more dither, more delay, more uncertainty. Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon would inflict on this country the chaos of two referendums next year, on Brexit and on Scottish independence. And, if that wasn’t enough, their plans would wreck our economy, with more borrowing and higher taxes for everyone.
- Or we could have a Conservative majority government which will get Brexit done and unleash Britain’s potential. We can smash through the parliamentary gridlock, and the Government will be able to concentrate on changing the country for the better – strengthening the NHS with £34 billion extra funding and 50,000 extra nurses, supporting schools with £150 million extra every week, keeping people safe with 20,000 more police officers on the streets.
Let’s stop the chaos and stop the referendums. We can secure a majority Conservative government if we win with just nine more seats.
So, no matter which way you voted in the referendum: Vote today to break the gridlock, vote to get Brexit done, vote to unleash Britain’s potential.
Good luck today everyone. Every vote matters in this election - so here are the key points:
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
