If we want to win back votes and seats at council and parliamentary level in all parts of the country, it is vital we get out on the ground and sell our own offer to the country, even though many of us are perhaps a little more reserved in temperament than our opponents: our country and our party need us!

Common values, a clear big picture vision and a constructive approach to debate do a large part of the work of allowing a coalition of people to come together in pursuit of common goals. If some people do not feel able to stick with us on this mission that is their decision - without a common religion there is little holding a broad church together.

It is incumbent on all of us who share the Conservative view of fairness to support the development of the right policies, get out on doorsteps and make the case for them and secure the better future which is within reach.
