In Iraq and Afghanistan, they support the decisions of the UN in order to safeguard the UK’s national security. They also support the decisions of the US in the Middle East.

European Union
The government supports the position that Britain should play a leading role in the enlarged EU. They try to strike a balance between constructive engagements in the EU regarding issues that affect all of European issues, and protecting British national sovereignty. Goals of the EU include making sure that all European nations are adapted to deal with 21st century issues including global warming, global competitiveness, and global poverty. They want to ensure that Britain remains independent of the Euro as their form of currency. They also support the further enlargement of the EU.

This party wishes to further protect the environment as well as wildlife nationwide. The conservative party is also working towards more accountability for the local government with national parks so that it is more their responsibility to keep it clear and clean. They are also working for protection against floods as well as limiting building construction in high risk flood zones. It is also working for the House of Commons to have the ability to repeal the hunting act.

Economy
Recognizes the seriousness of the economy and wants to bring the deficit in line. This party would rather reduce spending rather than increase taxes on the public at such a difficult time. Will create legislation to help those with low income and reduce spending on the public sector. They will cut the front line services in 2010/2011 by £6 billion. The conservative party will also hold a meeting to talk about the economy which includes all levels of government.

Climate Change and Energy
The conservative party will attempt to push the EU into making more policies to correct the international climate change. The party will also continue to look for alternative sources of energy and invest in carbon capture and storage technology. They will raise standards for coal-fired power stations. They will also give an energy statement to parliament to set strategic policies for energy. The conservative party believes it must do everything in its power to help prevent climate change and seek new forms of energy for the future.

**Immigration** The party believes that a cap on immigration is necessary, and that the number of non-EU immigrants needs to be reduced. To achieve these goals, the conservatives want to create a Border Police Force for immigration and national security purposes. The party also wants to introduce new ways of minimizing abuse of the immigration system in p[laces like human trafficing. However, the party recognizes that immigration is important to the culture and economy of Britain, so they will ensure that it continues fairly through measures like ending child detention for immigration purposes.

**Education** The government believes that reform is necessary to decrease the widening gap of educational inequality. In order to do this, the party plans to ensure that academies follow an inclusive admissions policy, and that disadvantaged students are given necessary financial help, paid for by spending cuts elsewhere. The party will seek to attract more qualified teachers, especially in math and science, and give them necessary powers to promote good behavior in the classroom.

**Healthcare and the NHS** The party strives for an NHS that is free to th epoint of use and availible to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. Above all, the party wants to make the NHS more accountable to its patients by decreasing micromanagment for political purposes, while increasing democratic participation. They will increase spending on healthcare, while cutting spending in other areas to pay for it, including the cost of running the NHS. By giving patients more power over their own records and ability to choose doctors and rate hospitals, the party hopes to make the NHS more effective.

**Democracy** The conservatives want to continue devolution by giving more power to local governments, and by reducing the powers and perks of the parliament. This includes fixed 5 year terms, introducing recall, introducing elected mayors to England's 12 largest cities, and making it easier for local governments to deal with local issues like providing homes to its residents.
