  O.K. maybe I'm biased being a Conservative Councillor, but I thought the manisfesto was very good for people who have aspirations and are working for a better life.
  Those who are not able to look after themselves very well, are protected too.
  
  The Conservatives are in Government and so know how the finances are and they are a damn sight better than when they took over 5 years ago.
  There's always been a problem with Labour and Conservatives: Labour mess up the Country and the finances, the Conservatives then get voted in and go through the austerity measures to get the country (and the people) straight and then get punished for doing so - you can't have your cake and eat it too.
  
  It may not be a perfect Manifesto (who's is ?), but under the current circumstances, it's the best we could hope to get for the majority of people and the best that can be achieved.
  
  
  "We are on the brink of something special. And our manifesto sets out how we will make this a country where those who work hard and do the right thing can enjoy a good life:"
  
  The personal tax-free allowance raised to £12,500
  No 40p tax until you're earning £50,000
  The family home taken out of Inheritance Tax
  £8 billion more a year for our NHS - so it's there for your family, 7 days a week
  Rail fares frozen for five years
  Welfare controlled to reward work
  Multinationals pursued so they pay their tax
  The Right to Buy extended to 1.3 million extra families
  30 hours of free childcare a week for working families with 3 and 4 year-olds
  Everyone earning the Minimum Wage lifted out of income tax altogether
  
  "We have come this far together. Let's not waste the past five years and let Labour drag us back to square one - instead, let's build on the progress we have made."
  
  Is that not inspirational ?
