True Blue Conservatives seeks to be the voice of the heartlands
We do not believe and will never accept that Britain is on an inevitable decline. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, ‘Britain is too great for small dreams’.
We aspire to promote a conservative vision of:
· shared traditional values,
· the promise of the United Kingdom as one sovereign country and
· a Britain where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society flourish.
“We used to be famous for two things—as a nation of shopkeepers and as the workshop of the world. One is trade, the other is industry. We must get back our reputation.”
Democracy
The word “democracy” is derived from the Greek word for people (‘demos’) and power (‘kratos’). Inherent in that very concept is the proposition that ordinary people should keep control of the decisions that affect their lives.
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote public policies and reform of our public services based on the principles of free enterprise, low taxes, personal initiative, small and limited government, personal liberty, individual responsibility, democracy, the rule of law, public order and safety, central role of the family, an education system centred on Judeo-Christian universal values, which is reflected the value of supportive communities, traditional British values, a strong national defence and an outward-looking global Britain guided by a strong Judeo-Christian moral compass.
“We have our own dream and our own task. We are with Europe, but not of it. We are linked but not combined. We are interested and associated but not absorbed. If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea.”
By voting Brexit, we have chosen the open seas and stand to gain from its promise by embracing the spirit of that new adventure
We are dedicated to re-establish the United Kingdom as a proud, ancient, free and sovereign country – confident of her place in the world and optimistic about our shared future.
Old Dreams and New Vision
Our confidence is not and shall not be based on arrogance but on a sense of humility that in our long and ancient history we have a great responsibility thrusted upon us by provident destiny. We may have made mistakes, we have learnt much.
We have contributed immensely to the early stage development of the Commonwealth of Nations and their Common Law institutions and we stand at this momentous period of history and destiny to embrace the future with an open heart and cheerful spirit.
We call for the Commonwealth to be reimagined as a co-prosperous sphere of sovereign nations.
It was the same spirit with which we voted for and embraced the promise of Brexit and still believe that our freedom from a one-size-fits-all statist EU destiny, despite vehement attempts to subvert the results of a democratic referendum, will bear its fruits in due season, with wise, bold, imaginative and determined leadership.
In an ever changing world, we hold on to our enduring values. The one venerable conservative virtue has always been stewardship of conserving the best of our individual and shared inheritance for the next generation.
Conservative pragmatism is not often associated with a bold vision for the future, where, as the prophet Joel declared, “ … old men will dream dreams and young men will see visions” (Joel 3:28).
As the global competitive landscape has seen a dramatic shift with the rise of China, India and economically nimble and vibrant nations, we firmly believe that there is a clarion call to demonstrate how conservative policies, while respecting individual freedoms, personal initiative and our genius for free enterprise, can make possible a better tomorrow.
We believe that the economic and political imperative of the next 30 to 40 years will be: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and high value, higher paid jobs.
In that course of a new British renaissance, we need to constantly ask some searching questions:
In Britain we need to place greater emphasis on a long-term vision of our place in the world; in a world where we have often punched above our weight because of our talent for innovation, genius for enterprise, compassionate missionary and social work and wisdom of experience.
