Motion of No Confidence in Conservative Government

In the past five years under a Conservative/ Liberal Democrat coalition, many things have changes, and the majority of them not for the better.

Austerity, we are told, is our only option, but instead of taking from the top and putting the squeeze on people living extravagant lifestyles, the welfare system for the poorest, most vulnerable, youngest and the disabled has instead been hacked away at, pushing millions into poverty.

University level education is once again moving towards being for only the privileged few at £9000 per year, pricing out many who wish to study key subjects such as medicine, sciences and teaching, pushing the remaining doctors, nurses and other NHS employees, research scientists and teachers to their limits as no fresh talents enters their job pools.

The NHS itself is being broken apart and is failing on so many levels, with many points of service stretched beyond breaking point, staff overworked, underpaid and undervalued, money cut from an essential public service where the alternative is one of the most expensive outgoings possible, and completely unrealistic to expect people to pay in times of austerity.

We are also facing rising cost of living while wages stagnate, making life a struggle for those who work full time hours and do not qualify for any benefits or help, and with rising food, electric, gas and fuel prices, it is not a surprise that so many families are being forced into poverty, not to mention the younger generation who are trying to strike out into the job and property market for the first time, only to find their wages do no cover basic living needs and the job market is stretched beyond belief, with hundreds of people applying for single job positions, all desperate for a job while the Conservatives gleefully cut away at their support with a mantra of "If you had a job, this wouldn't be happening."

The truth is, our country is broken, and further welfare cuts to the disabled, the vulnerable, the young, new mothers (statutory maternity pay is one of the items on the list the Conservatives with to get rid of, leaving even working mothers with nothing while they recover from having their child, and leaving no time to bond with said child,) and those seeking jobs that simply are not there, not to mention the victims of ATOS, a system which recalls claimants who have lost limbs in case they will grow back, and that declares cancer sufferers fit to work on their death beds, and has driven people to suicide.

This all on the back of the fact that Iain Duncan Smith, a man who refused to take part in an experiment to see if he could survive on £58 per week (JSA), as he knew full well he could not, is being investigated for human rights violations in regards to the cuts to disability benefits and ATOS, along with the disastrous 'work for your benefits' schemes which were found to be unlawful.

The whole point to this is, unfortunately, due to fear and a lot in part to media manipulation, we have a government who is utterly out of touch with the working class, and refuse to cut from their own pockets for the good of the country.
Lowering the 50p tax rate, tax cuts for the richest, the richest in Britain being able to double their fortunes in 5 years, bankers bonuses still being awarded despite it being them who started this ball rolling for the recession.

And all of this while children are going to bed hungry because their parents cannot afford the rising cost of housing, food, petrol, gas, electricity, essentials.

This is why I submit that a vote of no confidence to this Conservative government.
This government is out of touch with their electorate, and have benefited from misleading the general public.

Now, it's time to take a stand a form a national government we can all be proud of.
We need a government that looks out for the interests of the many, not simply of the few, and we need our messages to be heard. We need welfare cuts to stop, and bankers cuts to start. We need financial equality, and we need more public forums and public meetings from the government to address national and local issues and help to deal with them effectively.

The era of being locked away behind a black door needs to come to an end. Politics needs to be for the many, not simply for the few.
