Cut Welfare, Increase Surveillance, Scrap the Human Rights Act – Thank You for Voting!
David Cameron will use the Conservative Party’s first majority in the House of Commons for nearly 20 years to “deliver” on a radical agenda to cut welfare, shrink the size of the state and re-define Britain’s relationship with Europe.
Conservative insiders said Mr Cameron would move to the right to consolidate support among his backbench MPs after five years of compromise with the Liberal Democrats.
Among Mr Cameron’s first legislative priorities will be to enshrine an EU referendum into law, bring in the so-called ‘snoopers charter’ to give police greater powers to monitor internet communications and give English MPs a veto over legislation only affecting England. The Tories also intend to publish plans to scrap the Human Rights Act within their first 100 days. All proposals had been previously blocked by the Lib Dems.
Downing Street announced the top four Tory jobs in Government will all remain unchanged. Theresa May, Philip Hammond and Michael Fallon will remain in post while George Osborne is re-appointed Chancellor. He also replaces William Hague as Mr Cameron’s de facto deputy and is also expected to have a key role in defining Britain’s stance on renegotiating its position in the EU.
