Giving people more opportunity and power over their lives

In our open and dynamic world people's horizons are broader: their ambitions are greater, and they expect to be able to make more and more decisions for themselves. Government, politics and public services need to catch up.

Making families stronger and society more responsible

In a world where our economy is richer but our society is poorer, we must recognise that we're all in this together and not allow anyone to be left behind. The speed at which the modern world changes can be exhilarating, but also disconcerting. So it's more important than ever to strengthen the ties that bind society together and provide reassurance and stability: family; community; a sense of responsibility.

Making Britain safer and greener

In a world of new and unpredictable threats, government must ensure new forms of security - whether providing economic stability, dealing with unprecedented levels of international migration, fighting terrorism, or ensuring energy security. And in a world of global and local environmental threats, we must act now to protect the quality of life today and for future generations. An effective modern security agenda must be broad as well as strong.

David Cameron: "Only we Conservatives have the new ideas and the long-term policies to give people more opportunity and power over their lives, make families stronger and society more responsible, and make Britain safer and greener. That's why at the next election, whenever it is, people will agree that it's time for change."
