David Cameron rallied Conservative activists as he spoke to party supporters in Swansea ahead of the local elections.
Mr Cameron listed Conservative achievements in government, including the increase in the basic state pension which would leave someone retiring today £15,000 better off than if we had kept Labour’s system.
Entrepreneurs and businesspeople had been helped by the cut in corporation tax, he said, as well as the Conservatives’ promise to stop Labour’s jobs tax.
In government, Conservatives had delivered a doubling in the operational allowance for those serving in Afghanistan and elsewhere, Mr Cameron said.
The party leader set out how the coalition government had addressed the cost of living, postponing Labour’s fuel duty rise, abolishing the escalator and making a 1p cut in fuel duty.
“This is what Conservatives do in government,” he said, “We listen to what people want. We roll up our sleeves, and we get the job done. And that is exactly what we’ve got to tell people every day until those elections in May.”
And he added, “This is not about winning for its own sake: it’s about the future of our party; the future of our democracy. You have got a great team you have got a great manifesto. I think the conservative spirit is strong and back in Wales, so get out there and fight - and get out there and win.”
