I can't say for definate that a Conservative government would lower divorce rates, but what I can say is at the moment the tax system benefits some couples to live apart. It's actually financially better for them to not live together. How wrong is that! The Conservatives would put an end to it.
Both the NHS and prisons, need to be better equipped to deal with the problems of mental health, and addictions, which I am sure will increase with the economic disaster we're experiencing. It's wrong to think that just throwing money at the NHS will help. That money has to be spent properly, on patients. Labour have failed to deliver on that. It's right that we should put more money into rehabilitating people addicted to drugs. That's the only way we're going to fix their problem. Simply locking them up, will ensure they'll be back on drugs causing crime whenever they're out.
Tougher sentencing for crime! If you carry a knife, you should be locked up. Plain and simple. If you carry a knife, you carry the intent to use it. If you had the worry of being locked behind bars for carrying the object, people would think twice.
Labour have ruined the economy. An end to 'boom and bust' we were told by Gordon Brown. It's fact that Gordon Brown's 1998 regulation tinkering effectively stopped regulation in its tracks, it's also fact that the Conservatives voted against it. It's allowed a massive bubble, a boom, to accumulate and burst. Yes it's a global recession, but never, ever forget that we are the worst positioned industrialised country in the world to weather this recession. There was no attempt to fix a roof over our heads while the sun was shining. The worst of it is, the poorest are going to suffer the most from Labours economic mess.
For some of the good Labour policies have done, they've done an awful lot of bad. I don't however believe you can spend your way out of a recession. You ask about heating, the Conservatives want to provide grants to help insulate homes, make them a better container of heat, be more environmentally friendly, and with this you save money, which can be spent elsewhere.
It is time for change you're right.
