Conservative party Manifesto in 2019: 13 key policies explained

Jul 17,2023 8:21 pm

The Conservative Party launched in 2019, the election program, the slogan Brexit Get Done, Unleash the UK's potential. He are addressed, the policies of The Party , to introduce, should it win the election, which it is now by a large majority.

Which ran to 59 pages. But what are the promises hoped The Party were, you would grab the attention of The Public ?

1. Increase in The Number of Nurses by 50,000 in the re-introduction of maintenance grants for nursing students.

currently there are almost 300 000 full-time jobs. The Party is hoping to train more Nurses through the re-introduction of maintenance grants of Between £5,000 and £8,000 in a Year for students. The scrapping of these subsidies in 2017, was controversial and was followed by a decline of the applicants. So, it is the turn of something Like a U-joint.

Nevertheless, the policy is not a return to the pre-2017 policy of free tuition for students The 50,000 figure is reached by the foreign recruitment and strategies to better retain Nurses . Labour has promised to recruit 24,000 Nurses - on the Basis of the higher numbers in training and the introduction of the free study grants fees and maintenance.

health is now would so apply these guidelines, the benefit to England, but in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland of the funding.

2. You Will leave the EU in JanuaryGet Brexit "finished" early in the Year 2020.

In the least surprising promise in this Manifesto, Boris Johnson is a personal guarantee made That he would get Brexit "finished" in January, when he won a majority. He said That at the end of the political division in the country, but That seems unlikely.

The Conservatives also promise for the negotiation of a trade deal with the EU in the next Year , and confirm That you you need to prolong the post-Brexit transition period to December 2020. This is an incredibly short period of time at the conclusion of a trade deal a significant ambition, and it means That the EU knows in advance what are the United Kingdom's negotiation deadlines.

Conservatives say the UK outside of the EU single market, and every form of the customs Union. But until we know the terms of a new relationship with the EU, it is hard to argue That Brexit has actually done it.

This Directive applies to the whole of the United Kingdom.

3. To spend no Income Tax , VAT or National Insurance risesA little bit more and a bit more control.

There is no rabbit out of the hat were cuts, not a big tax, or increases, and no big-ticket new expenditure item. By design, the tax and spending numbers were smaller than That of the Liberal Democrats and, especially, work. You do have space, a lot more in the new borrowing rules.

But the Chancellor, Sajid Javid and Prime Minister , Boris Johnson , wants to keep a tight ship. It Will spend a bit more and a bit more in taxes. But it amounts to less than 1% of the size of the economy. The big picture is billions of euros Per Year in additional spending, but not several tens of billions.

4. Pensions increase by a minimum of 2. 5% Per yearKeep the so-called triple lock on The State pension.

Keep the popular "triple lock" means That The State pension Will increase by the CPI measure of inflation, wage increases, or 2. 5% Per Year , whichever is the highest. Critics say That it is to keep it in place is priceless and That it would not help the poorest and oldest pensioners, on the old state pension.

But the Manipulation of it would have been politically Radical - All The Major parties have committed to it in this election. The Conservatives have learned from the mistakes of the past. Theresa May added scrap 2 says. 5% guarantee for the 2017 election, and was forced to win the promise, the support of the DUP.

This Directive applies to the whole of the United Kingdom.

5. No one is going to pay to sell your house for careA cross-party consensus on the care to be built.

Boris Johnson has promised, but the Manifesto contains little More Than the guiding principle That no one sell in your home to pay for care. As things stand, some would call these details an ambitious plan, but the Conservatives promise, the urgent need for a party build are welcomed overarching consensus on future care.

The System is already at Breaking Point , and experts warn of the additional £1 billion Per Year pledged not to be sufficient for the next five years in order to prop it. Not least, because The Money is released, also overmatched children. The Tory calculation seems to be That it is best to say as little as possible, instead of risking, tripped up by a Problem That Cost them the victory in The Last election.

Social care is falling, so this only applies in England.

6. To reach net zero, the commitment, the emissions 2050Meet to almost zero.

Conservative climate policy of tightening control. In June, a continued to you, And you ' ve created a boom in cheap offshore wind energy. But. What's more, some scientists warn That the climate is still in need of urgent repair.

led the Liberal Democrats and the SNP suggest That an earlier clean-up Date of 2045. Labour says it should be, by the 2030s. The Greens want would mean by 2030 - what, virtually All petrol-and diesel-powered vehicles were banned, All houses insulated, and All the boilers changed within ten years. So, it is not only A Question of Date - it doesn't matter whether the Directive can be delivered.

Energy policy is valid for the whole of the United Kingdom, such as politics ", in relation to exports.

7. You Spend £6. 3 billion to 2. 2 million disadvantaged home improve the energy efficiency in social housing.

The British houses are so insulated, badly, to meet the country's 2050 climate goals, we need a country-wide program to update this. To spend this promise of £2,860 Per household on the improvement of energy efficiency in social housing 2 would relate to. 2m houses. But there is no mention of what would be done for those who have your own four walls.

The Claim That households could save up to £750 Per Year on your electricity bill sounds optimistic, and could only apply to houses with terrible energy efficiency. The typical save, after such work, to housing, experts say, tend to £50. The policy is in the shade by labour promises spending £9,300 Per household to almost All of the 27 million households in the UK, at a price of £250bn.

case transferred, so this only applies to England.

8. The introduction of a points-Based immigration systemFewer low-skilled migrants allowed into the United Kingdom.

The Last Conservative Manifesto reaffirmed the leadership of the intention to reduce net migration to less than 100,000. It's An Albatross - a much-criticised goal was never achieved. Boris Johnson had already thrown over-Board in favor of the Australian style points-Based system That attracts "the brightest and The Best ".

The emphasis on control means That fewer lower-skilled immigrants allowed in the United Kingdom. But while the Conservatives can claim That this means less pressure on public services, it is these benefits That migrants often rely on work.

This Directive applies to the whole of the United Kingdom.

9. Continue to roll-out universal credit to reduce poverty through changes in taxes and social benefits.

to confirm The Conservatives That they would continue the roll-out of universal credit, despite the controversy That has followed the new benefits system. As already announced, to use you to end the "freeze", what it means, a 1. 7% increase in The Money get to the people in the next April.

you also pledge to reduce The Number of modified assessments, That people with disabilities face, the promise for their achievements with a national strategy for disabled people by the end of 2020. It is a commitment to the reduction of poverty, including child poverty, changes in tax and benefits. But there are small Details, such as current complaints about the weaknesses of the universal credit Will be addressed.

This Directive applies to the whole of the United Kingdom.

10. The creation of 250,000 additional child care place help parents with childcare in The Holidays .

Labour and the Liberal Democrats , offers multi-billion-pound, universal childcare policies for pre-school children. But for the Tories this is a much more strategic - with the goal to create 250,000 additional child care spaces during The Holidays for primary school age children - around 5% of the age group. It costs £250 Per Year for three years, with £250m for one-time costs, such as buildings.

This is reminiscent of the era of the former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair , with his pre-austerity measures, the expansion of Breakfast clubs, after-school clubs and holiday clubs. Much of this Will be delivered by schools, so it Will depend on you location your premises available over the summer holidays.

childcare is only for England.

11. To expect a Student Finance freeze of tuition fees of £9,250.

tuition fees and education, so That All changes apply to England only.
