David Cameron has called on the Prime Minister to call an election and let the people of Britain decide what we want for our economy.
Speaking at the London School of Economics, David spoke about the “clear choice that is emerging in British politics” on the economic problems facing the country.
He argued that two main problems face this generation – a recession coupled with a record level of Government debt, and that the Government are trying to tackle one while ignoring the other.
David outlined the Conservative approach of addressing both problems together, to set the economy and our public finances on a sustainable path, and make the recession shorter and shallower.
He also promised greater transparency and accountability from a Conservative government that look to reduce waste, reform public services and reduce demands on the state.
David said, “Every week this Government is in power the mortgaging of the future gets greater. Every week the debt gets larger. Every week the burdens on our children mount up higher.”
And he added, “We urgently need a change of direction, not more of the same.”
