Heeley Conservatives come from every background and walk of life. They can be found in every local community throughout the Heeley Constituency, working for the common good of all. They adapt to changing social conditions and face up to new challenges as our country and city evolves - but they are united around a set of core principles.
We believe in Personal Freedom
Heeley Conservatives believe all the people of Heeley should be big and be heard, and the city council and national government should be small. That is why we are determined to thin down Labour's fat government. Today Labour's bloated bureaucracy is the same size as the population of the whole of Sheffield - and there are more civil servants in the Department of Work and Pensions than there are soldiers in the British Army! We will reduce the mountain of regulations which Labour has inflicted on Britain - its businesses, its education services and its NHS.
We also believe in the Freedom of Enterprise and Opportunity
Heeley Conservatives believe that personal happiness and economic success flourish when individuals and families are free to seize opportunities in their own way. It is the task of government to increase opportunities and remove barriers to them. Above all, we believe in the benefits of low taxes. It is right that people should keep more of what is theirs - because it leads to greater economic success that benefits everyone.
We believe in Choice
Heeley Conservatives believe that the people of Sheffield need choice to exercise responsibility - which is the hallmark of a free society. Putting purchasing directly in the hands of parents and patients means that funding for schools and hospitals goes straight to the front line - and drives improvements in quality to make the users of public services satisfied with them.
We believe in the Community
Heeley Conservatives are at the forefront of community life and understand what a duty to one’s family, neighbourhood and the nation as a whole involves. It means looking out for those that need a helping hand - elderly people, youngsters in need of guidance and all those who call on the services of others. It also means care for our environment which we hold in trust for future generations. These are simple, decent values but they have been subverted in Britain today by political correctness which we are determined to roll back.
We believe in Safety and Stability
Heeley Conservatives know that there is no more fundamental duty than the maintenance of the rule of law which is the bedrock of a secure and peaceful life. Throughout our constituency we will reintegrate our police men and women once more with the communities they serve, increasing their numbers, cutting the paperwork which now ties them down and sending them out in our service with the powers they need to overcome crime and help our society recover discipline, decency and respect. We will work to restore pride in our Armed Forces who not only protect us from external threat but contribute so much to the peace of the wider world.
We believe in a Nation State
Heeley Conservatives believe in the great national institutions of the Monarchy, Parliament, and the courts of law- which enshrine our country's values and guard its identity. Our currency is another symbol of our nationhood. That is why we are determined to stop the pound being scrapped. Another threat to our national identity today is the European Constitution. We believe that the people should be given a referendum at the earliest possible moment- and we will campaign for the rejection of the Constitution
Committed, Professional, Competent – These three words describe how we see our Association. To us, there is no question that there IS a difference between our Party and the others. More importantly, every voice and every vote DOES make a difference.
