It's Time For Change: Conservative Vision For BritainGiving people more opportunity and power over their livesIn 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. 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. 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.
