Support Haydon Wick Conservatives

Local Support

Getting a Conservative Councillor elected involves much more than putting the candidate's name on the ballot paper. A whole range of activities take place which cost time and / or money and the more people who are involved, the more likely we are to be successful. There are many ways you can support the cause even if you do not want to become a Party member; you can help in one or more of the following ways:

• Deliver 'Haydon Wick In Touch' newsletters
• Deliver Election leaflets
• Canvass potential votes on the doorstep
• Canvass potential voters by telephone
• Be a 'Teller' at a Polling Station
• Buy Conservative Party Christmas Raffle Tickets
• Deliver Christmas and Summer Raffle Tickets to Party members
• Stuff envelopes
• Become a Party member for a modest contribution (details below) which includes attending local Party fund raising events
• If you are a Party member you could even apply to become a candidate yourself! Click here to find out if you are eligible.

If you would like to know more or to support us in one or more of these ways you can e-mail david.renard@ntlworld.com or if you would prefer to call or write, click on the picture of one of your Councillors to obtain their contact details. If you would like to join the Party, follow the steps below. We look forward to hearing from you - we are a friendly bunch so don't be shy!

What do Conservatives Stand For?

Conservative Principles
The Conservative Party is a large and complex organisation, representing and involving people with a diverse range of backgrounds, interests and concerns. It is a broad church, which encourages open debate and accepts differences of opinion. What unites the Party are the core Conservative principles which are the foundation stones. These are:

• Freedom
  Conservatives stand for less interference from the state - freedom for individuals, families, voluntary groups and businesses.
• Enterprise
  Conservatives want to keep taxes low and set businesses free from red tape to help Britain compete in the global economy.
• Responsibility
  Conservatives stand for the rule of the law and support for the family.We recognise our duty to protect the environment for future generations.
• Nation
  Conservatives want to safeguard the Union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, maintain strong defence and uphold our right to national self-government. We want to be in Europe but not run by Europe.

These basic Conservative principles provide the basis for all policy. Click on this link for the full picture www.conservatives.com/party/guide.cfm

Join the Conservative Party Today - The Largest Party in Local Government.

As the party of opposition, it is our task to hold the Labour Government to account. The opposition must try to ensure that the Government brings forward legislation which is soundly based and treats everyone fairly. This is especially important when, like the current Government, it has a large majority and might be tempted to cut corners.

We have made it clear that we will not blindly oppose everything that the Government does. When we think that ministers are right we will not be afraid to say so and to offer our support; but when the Government acts arrogantly, breaks its promises or seeks to promote the interests of one section of the community above another we will work hard to hold it to account.

If you believe in Conservative principles like freedom, enterprise, responsibility and a one nation then why not join us today and put your weight behind the Conservative Party? We have learned from past mistakes and are changing the way we do business. With your support we can hold the Labour Government to account for its failure to live up to its promises and the high expectations it raised at the General Election.

We have become more open and welcoming to new members and are listening to the views and aspirations of the British people.

Today, when you join the Conservative Party you will be joining the most democratic and involving Party in British Politics. All Party members now have a real say in the future policies and leadership of our Party. Already, Party members have decided in a ballot that at the next general elections the Conservative Party will oppose joining the single European currency.
